Diesels put out less CO2 but more particulates.

Quoted: Laws that favor the use of diesel, rather than gasoline, engines in cars may actually encourage global warming, according to a new study. Although diesel cars obtain 25 to 35 percent better mileage and emit less carbon dioxide than similar gasoline cars, they can emit 25 to 400 times more mass of particulate black carbon and associated organic matter ("soot") per kilometer [mile]. The warming due to soot may more than offset the cooling due to reduced carbon dioxide emissions over several decades, according to Mark Z. Jacobson, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.

More on the 2007 diesel requirements. Cummins stepping up to the plate. All I want to know is when do we get the cars. "Almost half the cars sold in Europe in 2005 were diesel-powered" -- why are we so far behind?
