In Germany, five deaths and several injuries caused by firecrackers - not to mention frightened people, pets and wild animals - have once again turned New Year's Eve into an antisocial celebration.
Here are some of the legacies in Cologne-Mülheim as they appeared on New Year's morning.

Crazy …
SUVs drive trend for new cars to grow 1cm wider in UK and EU every two years, says report (The Guardian)
Bigger cars more likely to kill people, release more toxic gas and are outgrowing design of cities.
New cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards in many countries, the report found.

Формалин на Новый год
Речь совсем не про какое-то там " сохранение новогоднего настроения ", если кто-то вдруг так подумал, прочитав название. Никакого переносного смысла. Под катом — небольшое IMHO на околопраздничную тему, про НЕочевидную связь «живых» новогодних елок, приземного озона больших городов и канцерогенного формальдегида. Живую ёлку на Новый год не ставим!

European governments shrinking railways in favour of road-building, report finds (The Guardian)
The length of motorways in Europe grew 60% between 1995 and 2020 while railways shrank 6.5%.
We should be talking less about fares and a lot more about infrastructure.

Fossil fuels kill more people than Covid. Why are we so blind to the harms of oil and gas? (The Guardian)
Were we able to perceive afresh the sheer scale of fossil fuel impact we might be horrified, but because this is an old problem too many don’t see it as a problem.
