Should the government implement stricter emissions standards for diesel vehicles?

Diesel emissions standards regulate the amount of pollutants that diesel engines can emit to reduce air pollution. Proponents argue that stricter standards improve air quality and public health by reducing harmful emissions. Opponents argue that it increases costs for manufacturers and consumers and could reduce the availability of diesel vehicles.

Yes

Any and all Emission standards only serve to hurt the pockets of the poor. Our current emission standards are fine.

 @9ZJWQMBOne Nationdisagreed…2mos2MO

This question needs to be more specific. Is the question talking about the diesel emissions form everyday traffic? Why go after small emissions vehicles when cruse-liners emit at least a hundred thousand times the emissions than everyday traffic for nothing but mere leisure?

Dunno, cannot be bothered. After all if you were that passionate to even create these questions why would you not research this yourself, rather than ask a bunch of half assed students who couldn't be bothered to answer the question, as much as spare a thought for the matter.

No, but incentivise manufacturers to be more strict with their emission standards and to retire diesel vehicles.

 @9ZMSSFBLaboranswered…2mos2MO

Given the fact China, India and Russia provide more carbon emissions than the rest of the world combined, any restrictions we put on ourselves feels largely ceremonial and pointless

 @9W7FMBVanswered…3mos3MO

Emissions standards should consist of reliably getting eco-friendly energy to the public, incentivising energy and not hurting people immediately as well as giving time for energy companies to switch over to not bankrupt businesses.

Diesel engines may make more pollution but changing to a petrol engine is only a little step and not the overall answer.

 @9SYC4SQanswered…4mos4MO

Yes but add a bit of subsidies for consumers who can’t afford the newer and more environmentally friendly vehicles.

 @9SQ56QGanswered…4mos4MO

yes, but not too much to the extent where manufacterers and consumers are suffering economically.

 @9RZM3V9answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if increasing costs for manufacturers are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised.

 @9RKZCVBanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if costs are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised.

 @9QS3S9Lanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, if manufacturing costs are subsidised by the government, and if the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised or reduced.

 @9PDPBQYanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, as long as manufacturing costs are subsidised and the availability of diesel vehicles is not reduced.

 @9NVZ3QLCoalitionanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only with government subsidies to prevent high costs, and no government intervention in the availability of diesel vehicles.

 @9TQ5HHDanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not reduced.
