A commentary on the 1500 deaths annually that a recent report blames on automotive and industrial air pollution. But asking a public health official to keep cars out of the city is like King Canute ordering the tide not to come in. The will of the car is paramount and will be so until people simply can't afford the cost of fuel any more. Nobody cares if you die of respiratory illness or are knocked down and killed in the street, so long as nothing impedes traffic. Oh, and dig the irony of the advertising proximity here.
