A comment on VW slumps to first quarterly loss in at least 15 years. Parent comment
VW market share is about 20% of that [2]
so about 4000 deaths if they polluted their fair share, but since they polluted 20% to 40% more that's about 2000/year additional deaths?
numbers are all over the place however, too many uncertainties and unmeasurable factors.
also my number doesn't come anywhere close to other estimates[3]
