Not another Asbestos panic post? Sadly so!

Not strictly true,they knew about the dangers as early as the 1900’s Asbestos timeline yet failed like many other things to do anything about it until late on. Maybe like global warming?

It wasn't widely appreciated though. Nothing like global warming, which is normal and hasn't killed anybody.

Hewn I know that, I was referring to the delayed reaction to it

I'm not sure that statement rings true. The side effects of global warming, such as extreme weather has killed people. But we're going OT here

Sorry, that’s partly my fault, I was just pointing out the mere delayed reaction comparisons.

Extreme weather kills far less people now than 100 years ago and there is no proof linking extreme weather to climate change. This is OT though so I suggest we discuss elsewhere if there is interest.

General discussion is the place.

Jayzus! That is like jumping into a bear pit. Fat chance of a reasoned, intelligent discussion over there - what with all those right wing climate-denier Brexiteer anti-vaccer types who inhibit that particular corner of hell!

Not that I'm at all biased, mind you...
