Podcasts about great smog

Back in December 1952, London experienced a fog like no other—it was thick, yellowish, and downright deadly. This wasn't just regular fog; it was smog, a toxic mix of fog and smoke from coal burning. For five days, the city was practically blinded, and people could barely see a few feet ahead. Breathing it in was even worse—it caused severe respiratory issues, and sadly, it's estimated that over 4,000 people died during the event, with thousands more falling sick. It was a wake-up call for environmental action, leading to laws like the Clean Air Act to prevent such disasters. The “Great Smog” showed how dangerous pollution could be and why we need to keep our air clean.

 A deadly fog. A city caught off guard. Over 12,000 lives lost—and barely a whisper.In December 1952, London was smothered by a yellow fog so thick it stopped traffic, filled hospitals, and choked the breath from thousands. No alarms. No evacuation. Just cold air, coal smoke, and silence.This episode of An Ounce follows fictional lives inside a real catastrophe: the Great Smog of London. Discover how a slow-moving, invisible predator crept into homes, settled into lungs, and changed public health policy forever.

Dezember 1952: Es ist kalt in London. Die Menschen sitzen in ihren Wohnungen und heizen. Damals noch mit Kohle. Was sie nicht ahnen: Eine Umweltkatastrophe lauert wortwörtlich vor der Tür. Der „Great Smog“ wird durch die Gassen der Metropole ziehen, das öffentliche Leben lahmlegen und tausende Menschenleben kosten. -- In dieser Folge von „BRITPOD – England at its best“ berichten unsere Entdecker Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling von einer der größten Katastrophen in der Geschichte Londons: „The Great Smog“: Ein Nebel, der für eine dramatische und chaotische Zeit in der kompletten Stadt gesorgt hat, denn es war kein gewöhnlicher Nebel. Er war hochgradig giftig. Grund dafür: Luftverschmutzung. Und die war schon seit Jahrhunderten ein Problem in London. Wie konnte es trotz dieses Wissens zu der Umweltkatastrophe kommen? Warum erkannte die Regierung die Tragweite der Katastrophe erst viel zu spät? Und welche Konsequenzen hatte der große Nebel von London für die Zukunft der Umweltpolitik? -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken!

Europa tanzt aus chinesischer Sicht viel zu stark nach der amerikanischen Pfeife. Mit Präsident Trump erhöht sich zusätzlich die Instabilität.Wie die Führung in Peking auf die neue Situation in der internationalen Politik reagiert wird für die nächsten Jahren entscheidend sein. Eine hochrangige Expertenrunde erörtert die Lage aus chinesischer Sicht: Journalistin und Buchautorin Yang Xifan, Sinologinnen Anna Lisa Ahlers und Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik  unter der Diskussionsleitung von Raimund Löw.Die Allmacht des chinesischen Präsidenten Xi Jinping scheint in dieser entscheidenden Phase im eigenen Land nahezu grenzenlos zu sein. Aber der fulminante Boom für Chinas Wirtschaft ist zu Ende.   An die Stelle der Globalisierung der letzten Jahrzehnte könnten weltweit Zölle treten. Eine Abschottung der großen Wirtschaftsräume würde China als Exportweltmeister ganz besonders treffen.Wie stark ist der chinesische Staatskapitalismus unter der Führung der Kommunistischen Partei?

In December 1952, London was engulfed by the "Great Smog," a devastating event caused by industrial pollution and coal burning, leading to severe health crises and thousands of premature deaths. The smog prompted a major reevaluation of environmental policies, culminating in the Clean Air Act of 1956, which aimed to reduce air pollution. This historical event serves as a crucial reminder of the impacts of industrialization on public health and the environment.

In ancient Korea, ingenious underfloor heating is invented. A king in dire financial straits institutes a controversial tax on fireplaces. Young boys are sent up treacherous chimneys in Victorian England. And the Great Smog envelops London, with deadly consequences… A Noiser production, written by Roger Morris.

Remember when they were coming to take your gas stove away? Every so often a study about the effects of air pollution on health goes viral, and we're reminded again that seemingly innocuous objects—like your kitchen cooker—could be bad for us in unexpected ways. How bad is air pollution? And is it getting any better?In this episode of The Studies Show, Tom and Stuart look into the science of air pollution, trying to separate correlation from causality, and working out what scientists mean when they say that deaths are “attributable” to something (it's more complicated than you think!).The Studies Show is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine.

Season 04 : British Isles Episode 05 : The Great Smog : UK Environmentalism is a major hot topic all over the world today, and with good reason. After all, if the planet we live on is damaged by pollutants to the point it starts rebelling against us, it's not as if we have anywhere else to go. But while increased extreme weather phenomena and rising global temperatures are a problem we all have to deal with today, many people have come together and are making an effort to make our future brighter. Sometimes though, the darkness takes over.Check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/SomewhereSinisterFollow us on social media:https://twitter.com/SomewhereSinhttps://www.instagram.com/somewheresinister/You can support us by donating a few bucks here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/somewheresin

Being able to breathe clean air should be a human right but, according to the World Health Organization 99% of the world's population lives in areas exceeding safe pollution limits, which has huge impacts on public health. Air pollution, climate impacts, and social justice are three sides of the same issue, demanding an intersectional response that not only makes space for the voices of the most impacted, but also the most disenfranchised.  Image Credit: Photo by Sai De Silva on UnsplashFeatured in this episode: The Great Smog of London, 1952, BBC Archive, Originally broadcast 5 December, 1962Featured guests:Agnes Agyepong is the founder and CEO of Global Black Maternal Health (GBMH), an organisation placing research and agency back into the hands of Black communities as change agents in their own health narratives.

The Dust Bowl in the 1930s caused by extensive soil erosion in the southern plains region of the United States, led to  severe dust storms during a period of extensive drought. For five days in December 1952, the Great Smog of London smothered the city, wreaking havoc and killing thousands. In the early 1950s, the Minamata Bay was the center of the outbreak of the Minamata Disease caused by Mercury poisoning caused by toxic waste from the nearby Chisso Chemical Plant. In December 1984, the world's worst industrial disaster happened in the City of Bhopal in India after the poisonous gas Methyl Isocyanate leaked from the local Union Carbide plant.

In this episode, we're taking on a future you may not be able to choose and move to a climate safe location. Maybe it's a job you can't leave, or you can't afford to move, or there aren't many climate safe locations to pick from. How can you then keep your home, your neighbourhood safe from climate impacts? This is Part-2 of a 3-Part Climate mini-series. In this, experts take us through how an Indian city is learning to deal with climate extremes and poor city planning; and how current and future homes and neighbourhoods can be reimagined for future climate.

How do you pick a home in a location that's safe from the unpredictable effects of climate change? Can scientists tell us what climate impacts each neighbourhood in an Indian city will see? In this episode, experts take us through what it would take to make hyper-local climate forecasts for city neighbourhoods, so you can choose a climate safe location to live in. We also see what we already know about future impacts and what we can do in the absence of forecast data. This is Part-1 of a Three-Part Climate mini-series. Experts we spoke to for this episode (in order of appearance): Sandhya Ramesh, Science Editor at The Print. Dr. Roxy Mathew Koll, a Climate Scientist at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology Dr. Indu Murthy, head of the Climate Environment and Sustainability sector at the Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy, a research-based policy think tank in Bangalore.

This week, Cate and Liz begin a new series on Famous Disasters! They start with the Great Smog of London in 1952. When a rare weather pattern forced fog to mix with coal soot from London's buildings and vehicles it created a deadly smog that latest for five days and claimed thousands of lives. The impact of the disaster wasn't known immediately and eventually led to changes in legislation.

Pea Soup – Erbsensuppe – so bezeichnen die Engländer ihren berühmten Londoner Nebel. Im Dezember 1952 wird diese Brühe aber nicht nur ungenießbar, sondern auch zur Todesfalle.

Pea Soup – Erbsensuppe – so bezeichnen die Engländer ihren berühmten Londoner Nebel. Im Dezember 1952 wird diese Brühe aber nicht nur ungenießbar, sondern auch zur Todesfalle. Auch in Deutschland kommt es später zu Smog-Alarmen, es gibt Verbesserungen. Das Problem der Luftverschmutzung jedoch ist geblieben, die Belastung immer noch viel zu hoch - doch sie ist nicht sichtbar, anders als damals die große Smogkatastrophe von London. Autor: Ralf Gödde Von Ralf Gödde.

Heute vor 70 Jahren begann "The Great Smog of London" die Smog-Katastrophe in der britischen Hauptstadt.

Congratulations to Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II on her Platinum Jubilee! The Channel 5 documentary “Are You Being Served? Secrets and Scandals” - we can't wait to see it. Which do you love more: the original AYBS or AYBS-Again/Grace & Favour? Our poll shows an even split! Joanne Heywood, who played Miss. Lovelock, is unanimous in her choice of “Are You Being Served Again” / “Grace & Favour”. Professor Jeff defines “skeuomorph” thanks to a Unanimous Superman's tip. A live #1 hit with George Michael and Elton John. What would happen if an AI listened to every AYBS episode and wrote a new script? @KeatonPatti on twitter did this with Hallmark Christmas movies and we read a hilarious example. Mr. Brandon uncontrollably giggles again. Our “Moment of Butch”. What exactly -is- Mrs. Slocombe's foundation? And she wants to know exactly where that pub is… Jukeboxes. Air quality in the UK and the disaster in the 1952 called “The Great Smog”. A walking billboard for Reebok running gear. Mr. Humphries finds that 4 inches is more than acceptable. What does “ship shape and Bristol fashion” mean? A surprising slavery connection to a West England port city. Fun with non-sequiturs. “He really gets on my wick” = Cockney rhyming slang. Why can Mr. Humphries handle the Goblin vacuum? The political stunt from Boris Johnson to revert the UK away from the metric system to the old fashioned Imperial measurement system. Pulling a date/pulling a customer. The Benny Hill-like scene with Captain Peacock and the lawn mower. Mr. Humphries and Mavis cry together over cutting onions. A random Paul Lynde impression! Check out graceandfavour.net! Teseling the dirty sheets! Wendy Richard almost breaks character and laughs at the kitchen table. Lots of call backs to the original AYBS series in this episode! Cleg-Hampton, played by Maggie Holland, is past it. Mr. Volpone, played by Gorgon Peters, was in the original AYBS episode, who is amazing at playing an off-balanced British Rail waiter. The 3 new roles in AYBSA/Grace & Favour really added a lot to the new series- a tribute to Joanne Heywood, Fleur Bennett, and Billy Burden!

On December 5, 1952, the city of London was engulfed in a lethal black haze that killed thousands of people. This event, now known as the Great Smog, altered how London and much of the world viewed air pollution, and led to environmental policies that have no doubt saved many lives since then.

In 1952 London was gripped by a acrid smog that settled throughout the city so thickly residents couldn't see their own feet on the sidewalk. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Jonathan Freedland explores historical parallels of today's shift to renewable energy due to climate change. Jonathan considers moments in history when societies have been forced to adapt their energy supply due to environmental pressures. He looks to the Ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom and how it adapted to a century long drought, Early Modern England's wood scarcity crisis and the shift away from coal prompted by London's Great Smog of 1952. In our era of environmental crisis, can these historical events offer guidance on how best to adapt our own energy resources? Contributors: Professor Nadine Moeller, Yale University.

Smog had become a frequent part of London life, but nothing quite compared to the smoke-laden fog that shrouded the capital from Friday 5 December to Tuesday 9 December 1952. The Met Office says though that “While it heavily affected the population of London, causing a huge death toll and inconveniencing millions of people, the people it affected were also partly to blame for the smog.” The crazy thing is the effects of this smog were not realized until 3 weeks after the event. It was a bizarre and hard time in London's history, so settle in and join us as we discuss the story that changed air quality regulation forever.

In this episode, we speak with Siddharth Singh, author of the “Great Smog of India” and co-lead author of India Energy Outlook 2021 for the International Energy Agency. We have a wide-ranging conversation that dives into this Comprehensive report and touch on topics including renewable energy growth and electricity demand projections, as well as some of the key factors will have a drastic impact these projections. Hope you enjoy this conversation! Topics Include: 1. How much time is spent collecting data vs. analyzing vs. writing vs. connecting with people when compiling the India Energy Outlook 2021 2. A high-level overview of how the energy sector is structured and the different sub-sets within 3. In the IEA India Energy Outlook 2021, one of the concluding headlines was titled “all roads to successful global clean energy transitions go via India.” Mr. Singh provides some background, for those who haven't read the report, on why this is 4. Main obstacles that would prevent India from becoming a global leader in the clean energy space 5. Why electricity demand is set to increase much more rapidly than India's overall energy demand 5. Mr. Singh's overarching thoughts on India's development moving forward

How seriously should take the Chinese government's discourse about ‘ecological civilization'? Mette Hansen argues that whatever the shortcomings of this rather grandiose notion, it offers an invaluable means of engaging China in important global debates about the future of the planet – and should not simply be glibly dismissed as an exercise in green-washing. She finds particular hope in pop-up local environmental initiatives that deploy the official discourse creatively to advance a green agenda. Mette Halskov Hansen is professor of China studies at the University of Oslo Her latest book is the The Great Smog of China (Association for Asian Studies, 2020, co-authored with Anna L. Ahlers and Rune Svarverud). This podcast is one of a series recorded with the keynote speakers from the Fourteenth Annual Nordic NIAS Council Conference ‘China's Rise/Asia's Responses' held on 10–11 June 2021, in collaboration with the Nordic Association for China Studies and the University of Helsinki.
