Well if the news is to be eleven today then by far the biggest polluter to greenhouse gases is farming with the methane from cows being a major contributor. So perhaps the logic is instead of giving up diesels we'd have more impact all becoming veggies.
Illogical. The reason that cows fart so much is that they are vegetarian. So the only effect of you going veggie is that its you rather than the cow producing the gas. Plus maybe an effect on your social life!
I thought sheep produced more than cows...
For those wondering about diesel locos, the latest IET News has an article about converting old Underground trains to diesel to run as commuter trains in the Midlands.
I'll dig out the link later...
Probably produce less pollution than manufacturing new electric trains for those services...
As said before - the whole shebang needs to be treated holistically, not just piecemeal (and little pieces at that...).
