As the evidence on health risks rises, there may come a time when the
govt. decides to price them off the road by hiking the road tax or
taxing diesel fuel.

Make diesel more expensive and the RPI goes up. Almost everything we buy
is moved by diesel powered commercial vehicles. In 2015, HGVs and vans
in the UK consumed 11.7 million tonnes of diesel fuel.

and a lot of railway locomotives are diesel powered.

Just because VAG fiddled some tests shouldn't make all diesels pariahs.

but it did

you can't rewrite history
