diesel engines are cleaner than gas, causing fewer air pollution deaths and spewing less heat-trapping gas.
While they emit less CO2, thinking & research about diesels in Europe goes exactly the opposite way.

More NOx than gasoline ain't all that good for air quality.

And the smallest diesel nano-particulates (after "filtering" by a soot filter, which essentially reduces their size below what's being officially measured) when inhaled, go straight into the blood stream.

Not talking long-term effects here :
How people get to the research location for testing, influences the results.
