Plot 1 was 2007 to 2022. Plot 2 was 2007 to 2024.
Also NOx emission standards for cars have been unchanged since 2014 for diesel and petrol.
Uhh this is about dieselgate illegally breaking the limits, not what the legal limits were/are.
basically nothing to do with these stats about Paris
I added the math to my original comment. France had 984,064 affected vehicles.


It’s the same plot, unless you’re trying to split hairs between 2022 and 2024. The big change red to yellow/green is dieselgate.
Also, the fix for dieselgate was not isolated to 2015. That shit took years to get the vehicles off the road.


After much thought and googling, really that’s before and after dieselgate.
NO2 is a notorious byproduct of diesel engines at 10x the rate of gasoline cars. Dieselgate cars emitted 40x the legal amount. You can’t quite do this, but roughly that means a dieselgate vehicle emitted 400x the NO2 of a gasoline car. Aka a single dieselgate vehicle was equivalent of 400 gasoline cars.
Now let’s get the absolute number of cars. France had 984,064 dieselgate affected vehicles. Paris has about 19% of France’s population. Assuming equal ownership that’s 186,972 dieselgate affected cars in paris. At 400x the emissions of gasoline cars that’s the equivalent of a whopping 74,788,800 gasoline cars.
So replacing the dieselgate affected cars with gasoline cars (apparently the popularity of diesel peaked around then and has been declining since) is the equivalent of removing 74,788,800 - 186,972 = 74,601,828 vehicles off the road in paris alone.


Nu uh, both sides same!


B-b-both sides same!


And we’re back to: see article and protest-non-voters won’t believe this one simple trick.


I think you meant to send this to the other guy.


You did it, you saved Gaza!


Protest-non-voters won’t believe this one simple trick.


Lmao Trump sees an opportunity to swindle and is all over it. Art of the deal!


Play this out:
Russia nukes the US.
In response, the US nukes Russia. Not just a little bit either, they nuke all population sites.
No “decapitation” strike is possible from either side. Any attack by either side is met by the other striking back, and again not just a little bit - all population sites. That is what mutually assured destruction is.
And maybe more if you need:
if you think the US nukes Russia, then:
surprise, Russia nukes the US back.
Once again, no decapitation strike is possible from either side. A strike by the US is met by Russia striking back. That is what mutually assured destruction is.
MAD literally works if either side starts nuking the other, regardless of the reason why. This is the whole basis of MAD.
Ok I’m really gonna peace out. You really need to do some reading.


First you said Russia, not the US, would do a preemptive nuclear attack. So this isn’t about Trump, it’s about Putin.
Second, Russia wouldn’t do it because of MAD. That’s the whole concept of MAD.
You’re making no sense, so I think I’m gonna peace out.


They consider Taiwan part of China. They would see nuking Taiwan as nuking their own left hand. Very unlikely.


MAD is when the other country can nuke you back. That doesn’t exist here. (As far as everyone knows.)


Preemptive attacks don’t work when they will nuke you back. This is the principle behind Mutually Assured Destruction.


You can extrapolate this to now that all search engines suck.
Uh no I’m saying the actual amount is 40x and 10x. Not legal, actual.
And uh no I clearly have the number for specifically dieselgate affected vehicles. (Well 10x is for all diesel if you’re thinking of only that. 40x was dieselgate and "France had 984,064 dieselgate affected vehicles.)
