But if the public don't care about something nor will the politicans. And people do not care about these kind of environmental issues. Just look at how relaxed people are about vehicle exhaust. Diesel emissions alone can have several carcinogenic chemicals.
We treat the environment as somnething passive that we have no control over. Environmentalists should personalise the argument instead of relying on cold scientific fact. The headline should be "politicians cause cancer".

- pyre 11y agoWhat percentage of the general public is apathetic because it doesn't coincide with many of the their daily concerns/struggles?
- undersuit 11y agoThe general public care enough that Diesel engines have improved considerably for the engines they are routinely around. Low sulphur fuels and technological advances have made diesel engines on public roads more efficient than petrol. We still have horrible things like cargo ships burning bunker diesel, but out of sight out of mind.
