Even if it was true, coal was only used in ships from around 1850-1910.

So you would be basing your entire theory on a 60 year snapshot of docks history.

I'm calling BS on this one.

and what did Londoners heat their houses with then?

They include child mortality in life expectancy statistics.

Strangely enough, if they included aborted fetus today, the life expectancy of modern man would be exactly the same.

Women currently abort their babies (40%), whereas historically the babies died of illness.

 

This has nothing to do with lifespans, which is and always has been around 70 years.

I'm not really interested in trying to explain something like this to you, so won't reply again.
