Look at all those carcinogenic causing particles

Bah! You youngsters today have no idea what real London smog looks like!

You can convince the rest of the world for not going to work in London.

Why would you want to pay £ Millions for a bedsit to breath this?

'Filthy air' prompts 'very high' pollution alert for London





Anyway never mind that..

Went skiing on Saturday, get a lung full of that would you.

Can't we just look at photos of China?

Plan B....?

Plan B....?

I think San Fransisco have a better Plan B: Hangar One | Fog Point

If they didn't have air purifiers in China I think we'd be seeing a lot more deaths there. It sounds horrific but amidst all the stories on climate change and environmentalism gets only minor coverage in our news. Which seems strange because it's direct, compelling evidence of man ruining their environment. On a more local scale, true but still...

...It's also interesting that scooterscot believes you can't catch pneumonia from being out in the snow too long.

If you're out in the cold too long your immune system could be weakened, leading to infections that could end up as pneumonia, but you don't catch pneumonia from the snow or the cold directly. Hypothermia is a far greater risk.

Very misleading. The photo is of fog not smog. I lived in the Alps for five years, it gets fogy in the Alps too

Gets old fogy here as well.

I couldn't be bothered myself to explain cascading effects.

We might as well talk about how sunspots affect the price of fishcakes in Hong Kong.

It's not the same and you know it.

Well YOU might as well. It would be about as relevant as anything else you have brought to the table.
