How could they believe there will be no marginal effect from this change? You can argue that the effect will be small; you can argue that, even though it exists, that the new policy is more fair or otherwise better. It seems to defy fundamental economics to think or argue that making a certain type of car more expensive than it currently is won't have some dampening effect on demand for that type of car.

Policies are not for having an effect. They are for creating an impression, especially when it comes to unprofitable things like the environment.
