People familiar with History remember the "London Fog"... People burnt coal in their heaters and the air pollution cause countless deaths... "The Great Smog of London, or Great Smog of 1952, was a severe air-pollution event that affected the British capital of London in early December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants—mostly arising from the use of coal—to form a thick layer of smog over the city."
