To delete or not to delete ?

I do my best at being compliant so that I can roll that big old RV rather than coal. I have seen the effects of lack of regulation in other parts of the world, so I know some level of control is required, but everyone should pull their fair share rather making a target few reduce their emissions for everyone else that does not. It would great if a biosphere existed for those choosing to delete - It would allow them the choice with consequences that come with it yet not affect the majority that are compliant.

Do you also say the same for those driving older pre-2003 emissions vehicles that emit more than a modern deleted diesel and refuse to get a newer vehicle with better emissions? Or how about those that refuse to move away from the conveniences of a population dense area which intensifies NOx production especially in warm climates. Or what about the people driving direct injection gas engines that emit about the same particulate matter as a deleted diesel?

NOx is only bad if it stays stuck in the troposphere like it does over population dense areas on hot days. In less populated areas and in cooler climates, it has a chance to dissipate into the stratosphere which is a good thing since it is an ozone gas that is also produced naturally. NOx in troposphere = Bad // NOx in stratosphere = Good

I recycle religiously(grew up on a farm so am used to it) and volunteer multiple times a year for CCA to clean my state's coasts and lakes. Does that mean I should lecture those who doesn't do the same as me because they are not doing their fair share?
