Pollution Kills 9 Million a Year — Why Nobody Is Talking About It | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a landmark study published in The Lancet medical journal revealing that global pollution causes 9 million premature deaths annually—over 15 times more than all wars combined. Graham contrasts the trillions spent on foreign military intervention with the urgent need to combat environmental destruction, while exposing the disproportionate toll on developing nations and working-class communities. He breaks down the staggering healthcare costs of pollution and highlights the systemic failure of both corporate political parties to take decisive ecological action.
