KILLER SMOGS --- Kills More People than Automobiles!
Source BBC News Kuala Lampur
Most of the great urban centers of the world are inflicted with smog.
These are made up of the pollution from the high temperature combustion of fossil fuel and are composed of particulates, complex aerosols, ground level ozone and carbon monoxide to name only a few.
These killer smogs kill more people than our automobiles.
We believe that we should make the reduction of these poisons a high priority.
We have done so in the past. LONDON 1950's killer fogs. --- Pittsburg in the 1960's
the fumes from making steel -- DENVER in the 1970's wood burning fumes from fireplaces.
and now in NEW DELHI as diesel buses are banned.
We believe our environmental capital would be best focused here rather than chasing the theorical benifits of curbing carbon dioxide.
P.S. KEEPING UP WITH TIMES TORONTO IS NO LONGER HOG TOWN BUT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE BIG SMOKE!
