A hapless gang of stewards tried to curb the disruptions and they succeeded in yanking a few hecklers out of the building, but many more lurked in the semi-darkness and continued to yell and shout intermittently.

Aged 43, now mayor of London Khan was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma, and so began his journey to becoming more educated about the dangers posed by air pollution and climate change. To read Fisher’s elegantly articulated analysis of why this is crucial moves me, confirming what I feel in my bones. Wish i never wasted my money on this book, full of lies and propaganda so he can rob poor londoners and those visiting london, Sadiq Khan works for the WEF (headed by the son of high ranking Nazis Klaus Schwab) and his head of c40 cities, his aim is to stop people from using personal transport and keep them within 15 minutes of their homes, all while he is chauffeured around in 200k v8 range rovers and mercs using tax payers money. Aides told the newspaper that the mayor has "recovered well" and keeps himself fit by running around 12 miles a week and playing football and tennis at the weekends. The 9 million early deaths it causes each year makes air pollution a bigger killer than tobacco smoking.Aged 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with asthma, which his GP explains has become an increasingly common consequence of poor air quality in the city. Air pollution is killing people in London, and around the world, and it doesn’t have to be like this. But there are genuine concerns around how we tackle climate change, and air pollution – so we do need to ask ourselves whether the policies are fair. You get the impression that the talents of city mayors, such as they are, would be better employed on running the cities which they are elected to run.

Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall).Thank you Sadiq, and what sounds like the amazing team you have around you, for showing us how to tackle this together.

Politicians who pen books often come up with turgid prose created overwhelmingly for vanity purposes.

Energy production – the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions – causes 85 per cent of airborne particulate pollution and almost 100 per cent of nitrogen oxide emissions. Khan openly admits that at times he had viewed climate change, as not the priority issue that he now views it. For Khan, the opposite is true – since the people in these communities are most at risk from the harms of air pollution, he argues that his efforts to tackle the problem are driven by a commitment to improve their lives, as he explained during his recent appearance at the LSE Festival. Of these, 83 per cent were considered ‘deprived’ schools where more than 40 per cent of the pupils were entitled to free school meals. He recognises connections between air pollution, global heating, public health and racial inequality.Perhaps it’s because London’s residents had seen the consequences of such policies following COVID-19 and were giving them the thumbs-down. It revealed that hundreds of the capital’s primary schools were in areas where pollution breached the EU’s legal limits.

Khan outlines the measures and campaigns that were issued to grow the understanding of Londoners to this issue of air pollution- from graphic campaigns depicting soot, stating, ‘If you could see London’s air, you’d want to clean it too. She was previously a senior leader of the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. Mr Khan urged people to "look after your physical fitness and mental fitness" and "get checked out" by heart and mental health experts while eating well and not sacrificing exercise for work. Whether by building coalitions across the political spectrum, putting social justice at the heart of green politics, or showing that the climate crisis is a health crisis too, he offers a playbook for anyone - voter, activist or politician - who wants to win the argument on the environment. You need only to look at the selectivity of the places which Khan mentions as bastions of his support on his walk-rounds.This combination of factors suggests a closer contest next time, in which Khan’s ability to persuade Green voters not to split the left vote but to back him from the outset could be a decisive factor in determining the outcome. Predictably, he lays into former US President Donald Trump over his decision to withdraw the US from the Paris agreement. Now, Sadiq draws on his experiences to identify the seven ways environmental action gets blown off course. Overall, I do not recommend this book, as it fails to provide any constructive solutions while spreading unfounded information. More than a rhetorical flourish, he argues that framing environmental policies, such as measures to reduce air pollution, as issues of social justice is crucial to expose the misconception that these policies ignore disadvantaged communities.
