"We estimate that the decline in Nuclear power Plants caused by Chernobyl led to the loss of approximately 141 million expected life years in the U.S., 33 in the U.K. and 318 million globally".

So, for the slow kids, let’s spell this out:
1. Chernobyl happened
2. Many countries close down nuclear or no longer build it
3. Instead fossil fuel plants get built
4. Air pollution is spiking
5. 318 million life years are lost globally (thus far)

All because of fear.
