The planes don't fly down the streets of central London though.

so the fumes just float away - so if that's the case let's have the coal power stations back like in China the USA etc - its a way to make money - end of...... in London for now till other cities follow .......
The charges are to improve the air quality in central London for people, i don't see an issue.
The planes don't fly down the streets of central London, they are miles up in the sky and away from the general population.
The link you've posted from the Guardian is about the impact of flying on the climate, not on the air quality people breath when they live in central London. Something like this from the EU would have made your point much better - http://ec.europa.eu/environment/int..._exposure_to_aircraft_emissions_421na1_en.pdf (which in turn gets its data from https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/10/3/034001/meta) - and it would have been even better had you compared the data from that study for those living within 1km of an airport, and those living/working within 1km of the worst traffic pollution in London.
You know, the kind of analysis that one would imagine TFL would have done for Khan, but which your back of an envelope thinking took apart. You sadly seem to conflate anyone disagreeing with you as them picking on you, which doesn't seem a very healthy mindset to have.
Really Bruce -

wind rain etc would not send the pollution on to our roads your mindset is bewildering ....

From your own link - look at the colour of the blob around Heathrow, and look at the size of that coloured blob in central London.

Watching the interview this morning,the aim was clearly for cleaner air and an effort to move away from petrol/deisel and to electric powered transport and renewable energy points of charging for both public and private transport,I dont see how anybody can have a problem with the idea
Yes Bruce its like every google it can come up with different results - I posted a few more for you Noise - fumes etc is a danger near an Airport, and Air traffic has increased tremendously over the years latey -
London when I was a kid was called , going down to the Smoke - why it was full of heavy industry with high carbon chimneys - GONE- it was full of coal fires in households - Gone outlawed in 1965 less traffic I grant you that but the scale of smoke fumes from the above caused smog ....
Its bad. but not as bad in the days I mentioned as I had family living there.... but this scheme is a racket to raise money nothing more nothing less......
So its never windy or breezy in London Bruce?
"Yeah, I looked at that thing and you can get Google to say anyfing you like, even stuff that broadly agrees with me, but I'm gonna say somefing else as I didn't even bovver to read it..."
Yes if you waver in an argument just take the P as per Brucelol
nothing wrong with the cockney's Bruce salt of the earth ......

Agree Joey that smog was awful,hence the change in laws and policies,but trying to improve it now also needs doing,not as a money making scheme,thats like saying a smoking ban was a gimmick,these things are done for health reasons because in the long term it saves on treatment
Yes , but LBC today that Mayor would not dare to come on and talk to Nick Ferrari - his rates per day will hurt the common working man - great socialism, and what's the point if the rest of the world major powers don't give a damn?
