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.

No, but incentivise manufacturers to be more strict with their emission standards and to retire diesel vehicles.
@9ZMSSFB1mo1MO
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
@9W7FMBV2mos2MO
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.
@9VVZXF92mos2MO
Diesel engines may make more pollution but changing to a petrol engine is only a little step and not the overall answer.
@9NVZ3QL6mos6MO
Yes, but only with government subsidies to prevent high costs, and no government intervention in the availability of diesel vehicles.
@9TQ5HHD3mos3MO
Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not reduced.
@9SYC4SQ4mos4MO
Yes but add a bit of subsidies for consumers who can’t afford the newer and more environmentally friendly vehicles.
@9SQ56QG4mos4MO
yes, but not too much to the extent where manufacterers and consumers are suffering economically.
