This will be fine for him but I am reminded of Thomas Midgely Jr who popularized using lead as an additive. He showed how safe it was by breathing in leaded exhaust fumes. He very shortly after took a vacation which was really just him recovering from lead poisoning.
Fuck that guy. His death was pretty hilarious though. He got polio and was largely bed ridden. He made a serious of pulleys to help himself work. He got tangled in it and accidentally hung himself.
I know too little about radioactive water and what the acceptable amount is for a person to eat through a fish that has been swimming in it
But holy shit can these stupid politicians who also don’t know shit about it stop insulting everyone’s intelligence with Simpsons (was literally an episode) like ways of convincing people.
I only trust well regarded scientists and experts, not some slimy politician. Literally kindergarten tier persuasion tactics.
In fairness there have been hundreds (750+) of Simpsons episodes so they’re bound to have done some that line up with reality. I’m really sick of people saying the Simpsons predicted something considering those numbers.
Not really global warming but he was the main contributor to the hole in the ozone layer we are still fixing since he popularized CFCs as a refrigerant.
You are still correct that his inventions have killed a fuck ton of people. Skin cancer is definitely deadly and lead causes a whole host of problems including death.
That strikes me as more sad than funny. I don’t understand why you would screw yourself over so thoroughly just to try and convince the world that you didn’t screw them over. Everyone loses.

Your understating how destructive that man was. He’ll probably end up killing more people than anyone in history.
You can’t blame global warming on one person, but he was a huge and significant factor in it.

What are the effects of the hole in the ozone layer?
Mostly increased radiation. There is some extra warming but it is very minor.

Bummer that my wild stab was wrong. Even bigger bummer about all the dead. I don’t like being wrong like this.

When you ego is more important than all of humanity (yourself included).
Money.
He also figured out that CFCs were great for refrigerants and popularized their use.
Exhaust fumes without lead aren’t safe to breathe… why would leaded exhaust fumes be safe?
He was also the inventor of CFCs. What a dick.
