Because diesel engines pollute a lot more than other systems…
What is pollution? The first law of thermodynamics says matter is neither created or destroyed, it just changes states.
Saying you're destroying the planet by using fossil fuels is like saying I destroyed your office by moving the stapler on your desk.

All the carbon we ever used in fuels are carbon that is already present on Earth. A real CO2 crisis will be if we brought in tankers full of propane and butane from Jupiter to burn here on Earth. We do that for a few centuries and we might have a problem here. But no. And "fossil fuels" is a misnomer too. It takes far less than millions of years for oil to be generated. Under humid and anaerobic conditions, dead animals (and humans too) turn into adipocere and kerogen. That is fat and flesh turned into solid hydrocarbons. Now if that is pressed into a warmer and deeper part of the ground, adipocere liquifies into crude oil. That is how the oil wells in Texas and Oklahoma that were thought to be dried out are found to be continuously refilled with new crude. It is being generated constantly via natural processes.

Ever had a beer or soft drink go flat? Know why that happens? The colder a liquid is the more dissolved gases it can hold. As it heats up, it becomes oversaturated, and releases gasses.
This is true whether it's a Corona, Pepsi, or water.

Science tells us 75% of the earth's CO2 is trapped in the oceans and other bodies of water.


If CO2 drove increases in temperature, instead of following it, at any time in the past when temperatures rose, it would heat bodies of water, which would release more CO2, which would increase temperatures, until a runaway event would happen until global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 levels were so high it would extinguish all life on the planet.
That we're here discussing these issues ssys it never happened and the henny pennys can be summarily dismantled is evident.
