Re: Diesels responsible for 13,000 deaths per year in Belgium. Maybe you need to meet my friend Chris, then you'll know what farting is about.....
anyways slightly off topic there,
Again I'm with Paul on this one, I don't see how diesel emissions are a number 1 cause of deaths to the belgian population, there maybe an underling contributing factor to it but I would bet everything I own that there is no direct crollation to such things.
Diesel particulates are something that in more recent years were dissmissed as "just a thing that diesels do" but now there are plenty of emissions law though out the EU whereby there are set limits to what new cars can emit,
Also diesels are more fuel efficent so they emit less CO2 because they don't have to burn as much fuel to go as fast as there petrol counterparts thus we are required less oil to be dug up out of the ground and diesels can run on other non fossils fuel such as vegaable oil, so how can diesel engine be more poluting when they can be ran on renewable fuels where as petrol has to be run on an alcohol based biofuel which has to be refined for use in cars thus has a bigger carbon foot print? Where as you can use waste oil to run cars from thus recycling its energy?
Seriously you haven't thought this though and I really do hope that you don't listen to everything the media tells you, sir
