I don't know what it's like in India, but in the US people seem to only care about pollution that looks or smells bad. If rivers are catching fire or the sky is hazy from emissions, people seem to become more environmentally friendly. Which makes sense, you're not relying on some elite expert, but your own gut reaction. However if we start hiding pollution will that have the effect of making people care less about the effects of pollution that aren't easily detectable anymore, such as climate change?
