London isn't bad. China is the extreme case of this. Beijing air pollution is often at "cyberpunk dystopia" levels, and Beijing is where most of China's leadership resides. You can't say they're not experiencing the effects of their environmental policies.
- Reason077 8y agoLondon is bad compared to many other western cities. It's significantly worse than New York, for example. Levels of pollutants like NOx and PM regularly exceed legal limits.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoLondon's bad enough that you can see and taste the change in air roughly when you reach Hendon on the M1, that it leaves clothes and person dirtier, and generally feels unpleasant like sitting in a room full of smokers. Bad enough to want to avoid it. Which makes reading of cities around the world where it's significantly worse that much gloomier.
