I predict that nothing will change, we will carry on breathing polluted air, the situation will get worse but still, nothing will change.
Germans would say "Tja", shrug and then drive with their unnecessarily big car to the bakery which is around the corner to buy some Mettwurstbrötchen. Sitting then with their friends at a Stammtisch over a beer and talk angrily about how people need to change something before they fall into bed and forget about it.
Sound more like the U.S. than Germany - Germany has the €49/month public transport ticket, relatively good public transport offerings and a green party that has the best election results of the western industrial countries. Of course shutting down nuclear power plants didn't do them any favours regarding pollution.

No way man. All those Germans have moved to Atlantic Canada and drive pickup trucks they don't use for anything but show and build multi million dollar homes where their neighbors are starving and living hand to mouth. Then talk about how immigrants are ruining Germany without seeing they are doing the same here.
We will vote for the same people, keep buying iPhones, and get distracted by stupid shit. As is customary.

Wood stoves are a major problem. As soon as it gets cold in Germany, air pollution rises from below 5µg/m^3 to 20-100 µg/m^3 and stays there for months (in this particular area).
Dang. In wildfire season here in western Canada, my air filter gets brought out well before the 100 mark.
Somebody should tell them about the toasty glow of atomic energy.

Luckily the world isn't going crazy or we live in a depression or the Russians are doing something or we don't go out anymore and the world is getting smaller.
Hot damn, that's a movie I haven't seen in a while. It started off crazy and went even more nuts. It's like Fox News used it as a training manual. Soon we'll probably get a Mao Tse Tung Hour, too.

Overlay it with a map of electricity emissions and it will fit nicely with a few small exceptions (like any small country neighbouring Poland, they will have bad air regardless of their own production).

Probably due to the relative density of emitters
I live in the middle of nowhere in the Southeast, and apparently my area has a score of 12.
That's just the whole world
Question is, how much do you trust the Guardian to do a proper research.
They claim no area of Sweden has twice the recommended value, but there are clearly orange/red areas near the very south near Helsingborg.
