The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust. The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog. What is smog? Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

I think that with every kind of dangerous sport, you have to draw a line to what extent you can risk, and always stay 10 meters away from that line.
For other it’s just passion and I feel great respect to those who decide to leave everything behind and risk their lives in some god forsaken place of land trying to climb some mountain. They do what they love and it makes them happy. Nothing else I think (the simplest answer is usually the right one).
As for the city climbers I think that they are Just adrenaline junkies. They are doing some crazy things because they are addicted to adrenaline and they can’t live without it. And I think that those two things (mountaineering and city climbing) can’t be compared in any way. In the city way “attack” the building for couple of hours, in real mountains your action goes on for many days, you can experience drastic weather changes and many other circumstances, that cannot happen in the city.
At the beginning of my comment I would like to share with you this video:

It a little bit explains why people climb and die in mountain. They are dying while doing what they love. We should respect his choice, but I hope they are also responsible and in case they have families they have some good insurance.
I would not compare city climbers and real climbers but I "give a props" to both. Live fast, die young. It’s not my business :) Personally I prefer ski lift for climbing and snowboard for riding down :) Of course I have urge to get higher but much more than 8k meters , for instance using air craft or special balloon like Felix Baumgartner.
