Just in case: https://longtailpipe.com/2015/10/02/differences-in-us-and-eu-emissions-standard-key-cause-of-dieselgate/ https://longtailpipe.com/2015/10/02/differences-in-us-and-eu... it is not like here in Europe people drop down dead like flies because the Nox allowed is more than 5 times that allowed in the US and the PM 4 times (besides any cheating). The Volkswagen (and Audi, etc.) guys lied, broke the Law, and those found responsible should be adequately punished, but it is not like they are responsible for the death of tens or hundreds of thousands of people and of accelerating the extinction of the humanity. The estimations (to be taken with more than a pinch of salt) by some MIT researchers is of 60 (sixty) premature deaths in the US: http://news.mit.edu/2015/volkswagen-emissions-cheat-cause-60-premature-deaths-1029 http://news.mit.edu/2015/volkswagen-emissions-cheat-cause-60... and a later (frankly IMHO hard to believe) one about Europe: http://news.mit.edu/2017/volkswagen-emissions-premature-deaths-europe-0303 http://news.mit.edu/2017/volkswagen-emissions-premature-deat... calculating the amount of premature deads in 1200, which is of course a very high number in itself but - even if actually proved/provable - nothing compared to (say) the number of deaths by fire or road accidents that could be prevented.
