Diesels put out less co2 than gas motors. That is the only reason they are still sold in europe, because they have co2 emissions standards to comply with. The CEO of Daimler has said that CO2 emissions are the reason diesels will continue to be offered in the lineup for some time. So I dont think it is true that diesels are blamed for climate change. And Mercedes is not stopping diesel production due to climate concerns. Quite the opposite.
It has been suggested that this is the wrong list for climate change discussion, and I agree. Climate change has nothing to do with why I am on the list and sorting through this non-topical content is a waste of my time, whether I agree with what is being posted or not. If I want to debate that stuff, I will subscribe to a climate change list.
