Because none of them have been diagnosed with an illness caused by air pollution. If air pollution was such a big problem then why is so little being done about it?

If no one read about it in the newspaper no one would bother worrying about it

So do you think ill health effects only occur in conjunction with diagnosis of disease?

"In general the long-term trend shows air quality is getting better, but there is still a lot to do to achieve even cleaner air, requiring local, national, and international action."

In other words keep paying us money to make sure the problem continues to exist in the minds of the fools that keep paying us.

These have been out for a while, maybe retrofitting these as an alternative to taxing older vehicles at stupid rates would be a wise idea?

Have you ever considered that your cognitive impairment might be exacerbated by long-term exposure to air pollution?

Do you by any chance live within 100yds of the M25?

Neither I or anyone I know suffers ill effects of air pollution. Furthermore slowing down cars means they spend more time on the roads emitting pollution. Why not go the whole hog and reduce limits to 1 mph? why not 59.9 mph if that is too slow?. Who makes these figures up? And why are there speed limits on roads at 3.00 am in the morning when there is no traffic.

Like sheep you fawn over anything that seems to be solving a problem that actually does not even exist in the first place. If there is no problem the EU will make one up. Just like making cornish people into an ethnic group all these things do is give these that administer the policies power and money.

Presumably neither you nor anyone you know has suffered the effects of injecting heroin into their eyeballs either? Moron, and not just for your first sentence. Nowhere do I advocate the 60mph speed limit, all I have said is that it is how the UK government decide to implement CO2 reductions.

I think you'll find that many people suffer from the effects of air pollution: UK-AIR, air quality information resource - Defra, UK And now I suggest just to prove us all wrong you can try sucking on a car exhaust...

Then newspapers should stop writing about anything important then, oh....Daily Mail!
