pg20 DieselsRpaedos team
- PR story with XR collage "more that 129 Climate rallies yesterday"
- Scientists callfor pollution warnings on air fresheners
... This is a first sign of realism from the Times that NOx input is not a simple thing as proportional to traffic
but spraying in your bathroom could account for significant input of your daily NOx dose and VOC dose
Quotes
RCP
Stephen Holgate
Jonathan Grigg
Alastair Lewis of York Uni

The idiots have scared people from opening windows or having aircon
and so caused increased NOx or VOC input

The Times constructs the narrative that in Westminster
"Diesel drivers face £50 in fees to take car into city"
... actually the fee is from a 50% parking surcharge added to pre 2015 diesels not all
and by saying a vehicle will park for 4 hours they make that £28
then adding it to the ULEZ at £12
and Congestion charge at £11
...they get to £50

Tuesday pg4
Fossil fuel ban ‘would save 30,000 lives a year in UK’

Yep more " PR not news"
that helps the Times mates in the Greenblob subsidy mafia

"28K EARLY deaths COULD"
became, "30K lives will" in the headline
..Raw early deaths is not a scientific metric cos do they mean 10 years or more likely half a day ?
QALYs life years is the metric.
EASAC didn't do new research, rather they tortured the data in old papers.
PR trickery.
