The ABC has used air quality index readings from around Sydney to create a graphic comparison of the dangerous particles in the air.
Yesterday the air quality in central Sydney deteriorated to 310 PM2.5, shrouding the city skyline and descending in a haze over the pitch at the SCG. Ash blanketed the sand of beachside towns as winds blew the smoke south to Sydney, where air quality was again rated"hazardous" in several areas.A month later, the 'mega blaze' north of Sydney and the Green Wattle fire to the south are adding to the haze, with temperature inversions regularly trapping the pollution over the city.
This article GROSSLY underplays the mortality impact i.e. people WILL die from this ClimateChangeEmergency (scientific evidence underpinning this outlined in my thread)
Why have news organizations (not just the ABC) decided that boobs front and centre are the way to report smoke and mask use? Is it because it’s affecting women, or to clickbait men?

'Worst I've seen': Sydney blanketed in 'hazardous' smoke againSydney is blanketed in thick smoke and air quality levels smashed through the hazardous threshold as people in Australia's largest city again wake to a health risk. Must been born after we stopped marking “Commonwealth Day” with bonfires and fireworks. Sadly it was bound to happen after years of Green policies of no winter back burning & firebug/Lefties with a political agenda 😪🤦♂️just awfully sad. Hazardous smoke lol ..... no one sane is buying the climate fear . My advice would be machine gun toaters at the local supermarket or perhaps medical clinics , supermarkets & kinders ...like the airport. Try that .
