ELI5: What is the consensus on the disadvantages and advantages of diesel? I've heard conflicting information on this:

Some say reducing the number of cows would be much more effective for slowing down global warming.

Some say diesel exhaust fumes are not so bad and are unlikely to affect our health very much.

Even if you dont care about global warming, diesel produces smog in cities. DPF and EGR delete is very popular among diesel owners, and rarely policed.

Diesel exhaust is very harmful, moreso than gasoline car exhaust.

I don't have time to address your ignorance so forgive the wikipedia source, but it's commonly well known to be much more harmful than catalyzed gasoline exhaust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust#Concerns_regard...
