If I were looking for subtle trouble, I'd look at the brain, which might be influenced in its development by a psychoactive chemical in childhood.
And at the wetware that runs on it.
Not at the chassis.

@Treczoks London residents or workers may not regret that. If you do, in your newer car, or by train, you may find the air is a bit nicer.

One can trade, if one has something others want as much as what they have that we want.
If the food supply in the world becomes insufficient for the people in the world, then yes, some may eat and others may starve. Solutions which avoid that have more merit than those that rearrange the queue.

Note that considerable of the food production in the UK is dependent on the Gulf Stream.

@merridew
...There are many things we could do, many of which are good or at least not bad, and deciding how much of each we do is a strange business.

I think resource allocation and deployment could be done better, but I don't have ambitions as planetary overlord or whatever.

A while after I was born there were 4 billion of us*, and soon there will be 9 billion. Some things we should be able to do much more of and better, some we do, and some things we may need to share more widely.

It is a troll.

Gargle with some if you like.

You may care to consider that nerve agents, as with other war gases, are optimised to be lethal or disabling on exposure after deployment, and then decay, allowing occupation of territory etc.

You may also care to consider the targetting of the agent in these particular instances, and the availability of high-quality intensive care facilities.

@Patch @Hogger85 It is going to be a standard need at holiday and break places.

@Hossenfeffer It'll affect around 10 000 000 people, I think.
The effect is better air to breath and less illness caused.
If you were to tell them you were going to improve their air, but you'd decided to give them 5 years notice rather than one year, I think stepping back quickly out of reach would bd wise.

The effects are of course incremental.

Is this a new thing?

The MOT was introduced last century, I forget when it changed from "not a smokescreen" to limited exhsust emissions. But, no.

@Hossenfeffer @Emperor is 5 years practical with a 5 year election cycle?

Are you calling for no detail of any plan to be adjustable in less than 5 years?

When we're the ULEZ plans, in some form, published, please?

Shares enough sponsors and characteristics for the deprecatory simile to be very apt, I think. NSIT and so on. Why do you differ?

@Lemmylaugh @Emperor
The tire companies researched and innovated for EV tyres, and that reduces shedding.

Zoes have been around for a while.
Were the cheaper cars not the older ones?
