The planet is fucked anyway ITK, modern cars don't even pollute.
Maybe a global war could be a good thing, let nature start again from scratch. |

In The Know |
Newsnight reported last night that the pollution (mainly from cars) has reached record levels hundreds of times during the last five years - it is only the added addition of Sahara sand that has made it noticeable this time.
Time for radical action?
The French - last month - banned half the cars from travelling each day (with odd number registrations being allowed to travel one day and even numbers the following day)
We protect our planet - or suffer the consequences. |

Since I normally have to travel thousands of miles for my regular fix of Sahara Sand, I'm happy just to go out for it today!
Seriously, one of the reasons I love the air in the desert; it cleans my lungs, scouring them, and I think it filters pollution OUT of the air (cacti etc). Certainly it tastes like cold water when breathing and removes mucus and filth. After a couple of days in North Africa (some cities VERY polluted) I always feel great, what with sun, heat, swimming etc.
it's the dry heat. i went to Uluru once. Similar to Nth Africa. The hottest place I've ever been. Unbelievably hot and dry. Only rabbits and scorpions running about.
but quite exhilarating.  |
