Oh, and here's another little thought from this guy who has the mentality of a sarcastic eighth grader (Civility? What's that?)

What do you suppose would happen, if the WHO were to successfully manage to get diesel particulates classified as a carcinogen by all of the relevant authorities? Do you think that daily life would continue as it stands now?

Or do you think that the price of everything in the stores would skyrocket, as diesels are swept off the road en masse? What would happen to all of them wonderful diesel-powered trains, and all the cargo they would otherwise carry? Diesel backup generators at hospitals? Forget it! When the next power brown- or blackout occurs, all them patients on life support should just die, instead! Wouldn't heavy construction pretty much come to a halt for lack of all of them diesel powered construction machinery? And what about other critical infrastructure that depends on diesel power (either primarily or as a backup)?

What's going to filter out all of that worrisome particulate matter? What would you think would happen to all of that equipment when it is realized that it's impossible to filter out something that was declared to be a carcinogen?
