"The truth about London's air pollution"

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/feb/05/the-truth-about-londons-air-pollution This article from the guardian is about the dangers of air pollution and the problems it causes. The title itself was chosen to draw in a particular audience that would be concerned with and be aware of the dangers of air pollution, and thus would wanna know more about it. One of the first points it brings up about the pollution is how they have an effect on children in particular, children are usually used as a backdoor to get to a wide range of people, as the vast majority of people feel safety and concern for children more than anyone else, so it draws in another audience, it also brings in audiences that would usually not be opposed to these sorts of views, this is because the Guardian is a left wing newspaper and focuses on the inclusiveness and protection of all people, this would counter act against the views of a right wing newspaper, which is all about production and business, as air pollution are a cause of businesses and are connected to methods people do to make money, this sort of issue is a lot less likely to be covered by a right wing newspaper because of its connotations that go against their view. This news article caught my attention because things like air pollution and global warming are liked to be ignored or pushed under the rug despite that they are undisputed fact, so I was interested to see that the issue of Air pollution would be brought up right now of all times when not much has changed about air pollution other than its still progressively worse and no one bats an eyelid at it. What further interested me by this article was the connotations they added in the first few paragraphs of how air pollution can be potentially killing and cause major damage to everyone.
