Some die from it, a few don't. There was some French woman, she lived on wine, chocolate and smokes apparently and sold her house, one of those arrangements they have there were owner gets it after she dies, she gets the money....she outlived the guy. Jeanne Calment ... |

| 1475582 | 2021-03-21 08:49:00 | what a load of bollocks air pollution is bad. EVERYONE knew that . London knew the effects coal fires were having back then. This was all hardly a secret . Thats why cities ,states and countries came up with laws to try and clean up the air we breath Not only London. We had the same here with Christchurch in the 50s I think it was. They burnt coal fires and the lack of wind saw the smoke hang around. It was diabolical.:horrified |

In 1903 Simon Newcomb stated stupidly (although at the time seemed sensible); "the construction of an aerial vehicle ... which could carry even a single man from place-to-place at pleasure requires the discovery of some new metal or some new force" (en.wikipedia.org) While I am not suggesting we sit back and wait for science to make a new discovery to push us forward, challenges have always existed and humans are a remarkably adaptable species, we aren't quite dead yet :) |

Just to confuse things even more you have to take into consideration the fact that people are often less than honest when trying to sell you something or protect their own income. That last sentence is a good description of any current politician. |
