minus-squarefizzle@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·23 days agoYeah but also nah. The relaxed standards will cause more emissions and may reduce longevity of a vehicle. The question is how much of each will occur, which I think is unknowable?
minus-squareFreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·23 days agoWe do know - none. These new emission laws only came in a few months ago, so we’re just going back to what we were 4 months ago.
minus-squarefizzle@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 days agoIf the new laws weren’t going to reduce emissions, why were they introduced?
minus-squareFreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·23 days agoMore so we know it doesn’t impact longevity of cars. Emissions have only been lowered for a few months, going back for a while won’t hurt if it helps people afford petrol.
minus-squareFreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·23 days agoYou disagree?
minus-squarefizzle@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·22 days agoNo, I agree with you. We are in agreement regarding the least interesting thing anyone ever agreed on. I replied to the upstream comment without realising that we’re just going back to the rules we had 3 months ago. Again, for clarity, there is no disagreement here.
