C’est tellement un changement drastique, juste en 7 ans! C’est incroyable que d’autres municipalités peuvent voir ces résultats et continuer leurs politiques axées sur maximiser l’efficacité du transport automobilier au détriment de toute alternative possible.

That’s such a drastic change in just 7 years! It’s incredible that other cities can see this data and just continue on with their pro-car policies that prioritize motor vehicle efficiency to the detriment of any other alternatives.
Thank you, Beryl 🙏
Hopefully they said “adieu” (very respectfully fuck off forever), not “au revoir” (see you again friend).
Where I live there is a holiday where basically the city empties. It’s kind of eerie how empty it gets.
Just after 2-3 days, there is 0 smog when you look towards distant parts of the city. It’s strange how clearly you can see all of the buildings.
Cars really dirty up the air.
This sounds very interesting. Do you have more info? If you’re comfortable sharing since I guess you’d be doxxing your hometown lol
No idea where they live but here in Brussels there is public data available so it’s relatively easy to keep track of different kind of particles in the air. I imagine there is a proxy for how busy a city is on a specific day that would help make a correlation with some assumptions. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ must have something on both.
I just meant that holiday they referred to, where everyone leaves the main city or whatever
I’d be curious to know which places are not like that. Aren’t most cities emptying up for holidays?
Car supporters claiming that idling from reduced capacity will make the air pollution situation worse are now permanently btfo and must never open their mouths again
Tens years ago I got sick every time I went to Paris. When I blew my nose, black particles would got out. I couldn’t stand more than a few hours in the city. Now? It’s fine
The concentration heatmaps are nice and im really happy how Paris has been able to get rid of cars, but this image comparison is just bullshit. That is not smog that is fog.
No. February 12, 2015 actually was an extremely polluted day for Paris. The fine particles count was through the roof and you can find articles about it. Please don’t pull stuff out of your ass.
Surprised pikachu.
