so if i have read it correctly the fact that more people being home using there heating and wood burners have in affect taken over pollutant level's while car emission's have reduced . so if covid was to last longer the affect will be greater than its current levels . interesting stuff . my own theory that were in a big cycle and that the earth is warming back up not far from me is a fossilised coral bed so the area i live in at some point was under water i am in no doubt we are helping the process with our emissions but its not just us motorist to blame

All

, certainly in the UK.

Until China/India/USA make some big moves anything we do will result in sweet FA.

Don't live in a City if you don't want pollution. Easy. Steve N | 21MY Defender

Roll on the Summer...... 2022

I’m putting a stronger spring in my clock so it springs forward more than just one hour..... months I’m thinking Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…

Agree with andydef90 re natural cycle of the planet and we are going into warm phase!
as for pollution, unfortunately covid has played its part as all the surgical masks, face visors, additional gloves and wrapping has got to go somewhere

So back to global warming...someone's played a blinder convincing us of EVs as the saviour. They are convincing us that this is the way forward but are really just conning us to pay more for cars. Reality is they are equally environmentally damaging and expensive. Maybe i must be a pauper but there is no way i could afford a new EV even if i wanted one.
Anyway off to pollute the locals by lighting the log burner

In LA air pollution has gone up due to the amount of cremations due to Covid.....

400k infections, mostly from the poorer multi family areas. The rich and famous have yet to take any notice and on top of that the local authorities last week removed the stay at home order......
