Even if it's not, we know the output of internal combustion engines is bad for us and can kill us in confined spaces. Our atmosphere is a confined space.

- p1mrx 8y agoThat's a red herring. Most modern engines are designed to burn cleanly enough that their direct pollution won't overwhelm the atmosphere. When you burn fossil fuels, CO2 production is unavoidable, and reversing the process necessarily requires more energy than the fuel released. The atmosphere and fuels form a giant battery that takes millions of years to recharge, where the discharged state produces a hotter climate.
