"..the 'toxic gas cloud' that the media are trying to peddle"?

Don't you think it is toxic, then? And that "the media" are *conspiring*
to INVENT a danger that does not exist?

No Cheers,

Anything is toxic in large doses, but this is really only 95% carbon
and as long as the wind keeps blowing it will disperse. And the media
were trying to hype up the idea that there was a toxic cloud that was
moving out of control, but because nobody started falling down dead
from the fumes, they had to abandon their stories.

Heard yesterday on Classic FM News that the dark smoke-cloud covering SE
England may persist for two or three weeks!
