It's not the same and you know it.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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...

Plan B....?

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

Can't we just look at photos of China?

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

Hehe! After reading it two or three times, I eventually parsed the sentence as:

"Let the whole forum know, why not, that you don't know what pneumonia is"

which is a pretty clumsy and contrived, but admittedly not unheard of, English construction.

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

Oooh, that'll upset him. He's either Scottish or European.

Let the whole forum know that you cannot string a sentence together.

Germany's fault according to this. Bah! When we leave the EU, pollution won't be allowed to cross our borders without a visa.
