Smog

Smog
Here in buchkinghamshire the air stinks. I assume it's the smog and was thinking.
With 'global warming' and this freaky weather set to get worse should we be thinking of using masks while walking the dogs along roads etc?
I've always wanted a gas mask as I think they are wicked and would be good for the bathroom.
But what type of mask is good for walking around in? Those dusk masks are usless as are the ones doctors wear.
Just want to get in there before the zombie apocalypse.

Don't bother, your health just isn't that important.

There's a bit of air pollution around caused by various weather conditions, same as there is every year from time to time, but I suspect the government want to bring in some new environmental tax so have told the state funded broadcaster/government mouthpiece/paedophile haven that is the BBC to ramp up the fear factor in preparation for it!

I take it the 'state funded broadcasters' include SKY and CNN?? They appear to be on to the same scam - maybe they will be getting some of this new tax revenue.

Nope, maybe they are just following the BBC's lead, jumping on the bandwagon... who knows these days with the media.... they stopped reporting the news a long time ago and move in to opinionated drivel instead!

As said it's no higher than on various other occasions so why is it 'news' today then? Just after the BBC had a day of increasingly desperate climate change scare stories too.... but you, in your continuing support of them, will no doubt swallow it all hook, line and sinker!
Crack on if it makes you feel good to do so... I on the other hand will take a more questioning view which I have learned, where UK governments and media are concerned, is the best approach!

Is there any news story that they are allowed to cover without you screaming 'conspiracy'?

The really mad thing is that if there were deaths, and the government hadn't warned people - then you'd be jumping up and down about that too

Would I? It's ironic you seem to be able to know how I think when your own thinking is so severely limited! Now kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth or I won't be so polite next time!

Er... newsworthy items.... Chilean earthquake, shooting in USA, Ukraine or how about those things the government don't want to talk about like the EU debate, the continuing emergence of further covered up failures by the banks, energy compay investigation, insurance industry investigation... all those things where their mates are getting shafted!

I was curious just how bad this 'worst-ever-recorded' pollution really was, as I'd failed to notice very much in the way of hard figures in any of the news snippets I'd seen so far. Astonishingly I found my answer on the Beeb's own website, and truth is, even with our pollution currently reaching 10 on the UK govt scale, our air is still 100 times less polluted than a typical day in Beijing.

This of course came as quite a relief, and I've now canceled my bulk order for the gas masks
