I am getting tired of both Labour and Tories using the ULEZ as an anti-climate agenda to win votes. ULEZ is not about climate; it is about health issues, especially with regards to kids. This is just one article of many that has emerged over the years.

      Comparing to other countries and other industries is not helpful. If children in London are dying from car pollution we should reduce it. We should also reduce coal burning but that doesn’t mean we have to ignore car pollution, especially as i doubt there are coal power stations in London.

        Ignore the Delhi comparison, because it’s not relevant. It was just the best graph I could find.

        Regardless of ULEZ, pollution has been and still is falling.
