No doubt at this time all over world facing this issue at High level..but still we are going to more industrial estate irrespective of all these horrible problem I suggest to all government to take initiative towards Clean air should be declared fundamental right....
I was eleven months old and my brother was born in the London smog of 1952 when busses were being guided by men walking in front of them with lamps. I suppose we were lucky back then as it only lasted until the weather changed and blew the smogs away. You can't blow traffic away.
I'm currently reading The Invisible Killer by Gary Fuller. Your health will be effected for the rest of your life because you experienced those smogs, even tho it only lasted a few days. In 2002 the death toll for the 1952 smog was revised upwards to 12,000. I'm not trying to dismiss any point you are trying to make, just thought those facts were interesting. We need to clean the air for everyone's health, and it's better for the economy too.
@@mikehinford I tend to disagree with you. I think it killed people and children with lung problems at the time no matter how minor but if they were healthy, they were not effected at all. I, for one, am seventy now and my brother smoked until we were into our fifties with no ill effects and are still in very good health. While I know I'm cherry picking here, I refer you to the great Lord Bertrand Russel who lived in London all his life and died aged 98 in 1970. Every photograph I can find of him he has a pipe in his has or mouth. While the smog certainly killed people and babies, I believe it was in mid Winter and those people more likely had colds or flu. I remember St Pauls dome was black back then, so I'm not making light of the subject, it was filthy. Now it's happening in China.
I want a world where everyone has the right to clean air, so, so, SO much. Unfortunately, I will never experience that. As there will always be people who disagrees and will do everything in their power to force a false compromise, of allowing way more pollution to exist/happen, than we ever sensibly should.
Anyone who has walked around London or taken the tube knows this. Just do it for a few hours, then use a baby wipe to clean your nostrils. It will be filled with soot and carbon. N95s+ are a decent way of blocking a lot of pollutive particles.
Air, water, food and shelter. In that order, are the necessities for survival for humans (and other animals). How many of us are DENIED the right to those, every day because of our incompetent, malevolent governments? BILLIONS People, don't lose your loved ones before you get mad and actually do something for yourselves, and your children. Start today, not next year, or month on the first Monday, start TODAY!
Because some of the unwanted heavy polluting industries have moved from developed countries to developing countries just because of the stricter environmental guidelines nowadays. In my opinion, we should care more about developing countries than those developed countries.
I have a different point of view. As a fact you know yourself or your children's respiratory system is fragile, then you might teach him/her to wear a medical mask to protect their lungs. Biologically and ironically saying, those who can't adapt to air pollution might be a part of natural selection. In my point of view, if you want to live inside a convenient urban society, you MUST bear with the constant pollution produced by those “convenient” infrastructure. Else, go back to countryside and have nature surrounding you, but requires a 1 hour drive to commute to work or school. And you might ask, “what about electric vehicles?” Friend, as you might know the electricity is mostly produced by fossil fuel such as coal and gasoline. The power plant and the pollution is just not there around you. Transferred to NIMBY places you'll never visit.The pollution is always there. It's just a matter of where, and it's mostly about sacrifice.
Breathing air pollution is not natural. The industrial revolution came with unfortunate side effects. And to that whole natural selection spiel... It's akin to saying that if you have dirty water you should just accept it and "adapt" to it. We should all knowingly drink this impure water and risk getting a disease. And then there's people like you saying "oh that person wasn't strong enough or cutout for this world" knowing well that we are partaking in something that is or could be biologically harmful. Instead of just accepting and letting natural selection/evolution take its course as you say, why not do something about it and purify this dirty water. But now in our case, make this polluted air clean again.
Weird how mass transit and walkability/cyclability don’t even factor into your opinion. We do not and will not accept that cars are more important to people. We do not accept that lives must be sacrificed and freedoms must be restricted just so people don’t have to share a tram, bus, train, or bike path with other people and get to sit in their own little car bubble instead. I walk, cycle, or take the train or bus everywhere I go, precisely because I live in a city with public transport and cycleways, not in spite of it. I should not have to wear a mask just to live my life. Most car journeys in London are taken for leisure or shopping purposes, and are under a distance of 2km. They could easily be replaced by journeys on public transport. It’s the entitlement mentality of people like you that makes you think you can poison children’s lungs just for the sake of your own personal convenience. It’s a disgusting mentality.

Was there no way to move somewhere else?? It is long know that traffic Airlines pollution is bad for asthmatic persons. So sad to have lost such a young talented girl
Just curious, how long exactly do you think that would take? And do you have any idea how much misery it would take to get to that point? Also, do you not understand that the point of a society is to look out for one another? If we allow bad practices to persist. Things will remain bad. So the fastest way to actually “adapt”, is to stop bad practices.
@@EonWhite The fastest way is to self protect. Just wear a medical mask, how hard is that? It's also a act of "adapting." Oh, maybe you care about the right to NOT wear a mask.
