The VW scam was actually better for climate. Their engines released less CO2 and more NOx as a trade off. NOx is bad for humans and has slight cooling effect.

The VW scam was actually better for climate.
Their engines released less CO2 and more NOx as a trade off. NOx is bad for humans and has slight cooling effect. CO2 is not dangerous and has heating effect.
