Toxic air pollution in the UK

dimanche 20 décembre 2020 à 01:00

Rosamund Kissi-Debrah calls for a new law in the UK to reduce toxic air pollution, as a memorial to her daughter who was killed by that.

Why did it take seven years to investigate the cause of her death? I have a hunch it delayed by the lobbying of car and gas companies, which have great political influence on the Tories.

The measures that need to be taken are basically the same ones needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport. Basically, the UK now knows it has two reasons to carry out those measures. The question is whether the Tories will bow to those reasons and stop resisting.

I expect the US has the same problem. Would someone like to send me a reference?
