I hear an MP is suggesting a scrappage scheme for diesel cars.

If there are 31 million cars on the road and 38% of them are diesel,
does he really think a £100m scheme providing an average of £8/car is
going to cut it?

Why get rid of diesel and not petrol cars?

Because the pollution produced by the worst diesels
is much worse for your health than with petrol cars.

Diesel are more efficient.

Yes, but it isnt just about efficiency.

Apparently its trivial easy to determine at autopsy
from the lungs which non smokers have 'lived' in
the center of big cities.
