>>Cars kill someone every three seconds.

Do you have evidence to back that up? That would imply 10.5 million people are killed by cars each year - I don't buy that.

31557600 seconds in a year, divided by 3 = 10,519,200




bertil seems to be off by an order of magnitude. WHO claims 1.3 million people die from car related injuries every year, 1 person every 25 seconds.

Oh, I thought they were talking about the fossil fuel (which is still the majority) and the effects of it.


Yeah, sorry.

My calculator is not good with numbers.
