'Killing the Internal Combustion Engine'? Before/During Covid19 lockdown pictures

This is a pix of the pollution in MM, less than 30 days after lockdown; the city became cleaner, the smog was reduced to a point where the skies turned blue. It means only one thing; hundreds/thousands of vehicle owners are cheating on their yearly emissions test. Attn: vehicle emissions centers. And this has been going on for decades. I hope this will not happen again, ever.

The first pix is a scene showing the Manila skyline, in contrast with a scene showing blue skies with cumulus clouds above. Thanks to GMA/James Lagasca/Nathaniel Adam Cruz, etc. Wow!

*Shhh, the govt (DENR), (LTO) (LTFRB), (DOST), etc.. has turned a blind eye on this matter, sleeping on the job? ; look busy, accomplishing almost nothing. wtf.!

Q: Is it safe to say that the Covid19 virus is nature's way of cleaning our planet? esp air pollution?








[First the bad news:

Ten or eleven countries have decided to ban the diesel engine in their major cities by 2025-2040. The UK, France, Germany, India, Norway, China, Taiwan, Belgium, Japan, Costa Rica and Denmark, are the first countries to express their plan to ban diesels. Eventually, the gasoline engine will be scrapped, too.

Their reason? The Internal Combustion Engine is such a notorious emitter of deadly toxins that is difficult to control. I do not blame these countries for their plan because many cities are so dirty that it causes lung disease among the populace. I, for one, have a big problem with lung disease due to diesel emissions since 2011.

And now, the good news.

(The good news; the Internal Combustion Engine is here to stay. Promise.)
