i just got tired of these trollish arguments like number of terrorist deaths vs. car deaths or nuclear deaths vs. coal - it is such a narrow and artificial dimension of comparing apples and oranges, and with that heavily depending on how numbers are calculated (for example, whether Iraq war deaths are added to the number of 9/11 victims or not we'll have either 3K or 103K victims)

The death toll from coal isn't a "trollish argument"; it's a simple fact. People ignore it, because coal kills people over a much longer period of time.
