Skąd biorą się umowne skale w aplikacjach pokazujących #jakośćpowietrza, skoro dzisiejsze powietrze w Ursusie, którym nie da się oddychać, określane jest jako "przeciętne"?
We got married in our home town of #Lahore last Sunday & decided to use the opportunity of our friends & family gathered under one smog-filled sky to raise awareness about the #ClimateCrisis & platform local climate activists.
Its going to take time to get our own snaps sorted, but heres a thread of the highlights with links to sites/socials:
#ClimateChange is a huge topic, even when talking locally, so we decided to focus on the two most immediate threats to the city - #Smog (air pollution) & #Heatwaves.
We shot short videos on these topics & placed their QR codes at the #ClimateWedding for our guests, explaining the issue & what could be done about it.
(p.s. english subtitles for the videos are still being worked on)
Abbiamo superato il ricchissimo Lussemburgo, e siamo arrivati a 684/1000. Un numero francamente assurdo, che include tutte quelle persone che non guidano. Infatti abbiamo più auto che patenti.
The lyricism in this song is hilarious as much as it's poignant!
(oh why, yes, I've been obsessively listening to Bill Callahan's entire humongous discography and guess what... IT'S ALL GREAT and you should explore it, too!)
#Montreal smog warning, just in time for a current events discussion. An inversion, I think (air doesn't get cooler the higher you go), trapping exhaust and smoke near the ground...
Artificial rain was used for the first time in Pakistan on Saturday in a bid to combat hazardous levels of smog in the megacity of #lahore the provincial #government said.
Smog Isn’t Just About Farmers – We Breathe the Soot of Our Own Ecological Sins
It’s not only our lungs but perhaps our brains that have become fogged. We have failed to see that historically, stubble burning contributes only 6% to the pollution, yet the public is quick to make the farmers the scapegoats, and not the policymakers.
Smog in Neu-Delhi: Grundschulen bleiben geschlossen
Wegen des Smogs in der indischen Hauptstadt Neu-Delhi bleiben dort die Grundschulen für zehn Tage geschlossen. Verbessert sich die Situation nicht, könnte der Straßenverkehr eingeschränkt werden. Von Peter Hornung.
Los Angeles' first documented smog attack — yes, we had smog attacks — was in 1943. We've been fighting the sources of pollution and the quirks of geography that trap it ever since.
The city of Pekanbaru in Riau has been blanketed by thick smog for the last couple of days following forest fires nearby and residents are told by the authorities to mask up.
This past week the Indonesian Environment Ministry was doing their best impression of the 2003 Iraqi Information Minister denying that the fires in Sumatra were the cause of smog across the ditch in Malaysia.
As smoke from unprecedented wildfires engulfs large parts of the East Coast, it is a good time to remember these words from indigenous scholar-activist Jack D. Forbes:
