not one death can be Proved, imo, entirely based on speculation. Compared to the deaths actually proved to be attributable to : Contaminated blood, Asbestos, Thalidomide, Bhopal, Aluminium oxide, No-one has been compensated, no-one punished. How many died in burning cars before the design changed, how many died being sucked out of trains by door-locks failing? The public are being led up the garden path. The biggest Diesel engines that the public encounter at very close quarters are the 30plus years old knackered units in our trains, the gigantic oil-burners in cruise-ships and container-ships. Do they conform? The same limits that the cars face, applied to power stations would shut them all down. Empirical evidence, ie, before mass motoring, millions of us used diesel buses every day, crude engines burning crude fuel, how the fuck did anyone survive?
Governments have been found guilty of cherry-picking scientific "speculation" to justify legislation they want to enact, that is not in the public interest but business interest. The way climate change figures were wildly exaggerated is classic spin to suit an agenda.
Europe has millions more diesels than the UK, ergo their life expectancy must be shorter given their exposure to diesel fumes is so much greater. But it is isn't.
VW found a way to make their vehicles appear more economical in certain circumstances. And that's it.....
Not a way to poison children ffs,
