I'm afraid we might be dealing with some of the same issues in a few years. It's scary & sad how bad the air is in some areas in our world.

My husband has been to China.  I forget where.  But he said they had a big screen that showed the sunrise, so that people knew the sun was up.

London was different at that time.  Lots of industries and they didn't know what they do now.  The London "fog" was actually smog.  I lived in London and that's what the British will tell you.

I think France has our pollution standards on their cars, some of this is related to the weather they are having, according to the article

This doesn't surprise me. My dad served in the military in the 60s and said Paris was a filthy city then.
