The World Health Organization warns that toxic black rain over Tehran can burn skin and damage lungs after strikes on oil facilities.

War poisons air, water and ecosystems.

Breaking our dependence on fossil fuels is essential for peace, people and planet.

@greenpeace I think the car emission control in Czech Republic in the EU must be utterly corrupt, because every time I walk next to a city arterial road with a lot of cars I choke on the horrible exhaust stench. While in Cambodia, which is a world champion in corruption, a developing 3rd world dictatorship, where I doubt they even have emission control, I routinely rode a motorbike in similarly dense traffic in similar size arterial roads and I never noticed any stench, with exception of some broken diesel trucks which were billowing similar thick black smoke like in your picture and they were stinking unbearably, so I had to slow down to get rid of them, but the rest of the traffic was not stinking at all unlike in Czech Republic, EU, where just passenger cars stink unbearably.

So I think the Czech emission control is just a counter-productive overcomplicated bureaucracy which just bullies ordinary citizens and has exactly the opposite effect as claimed.

I feel

towards the Czech regime when I have a comparative international experience like this.

@clock @greenpeace

The perceived level of pollution is heavily dependant on geography (mountains) and wind.

@iju @greenpeace In this case this is IMO irrelevant because that's a perceived pollution that disappears when moving few tens of meters away from the road, despite the road being kilometers long.
