Climate is not the relevant issue with regard to vehicle exhaust emissions, it wasn't used as an issue with the eventually successful campaign to remove lead from petrol. And as you state, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere is not necessarily, let alone primarily, the main driver of climate change, which is in itself a long-term cyclical process. The 'global warming' aka 'climate emergency' narrative, that has now been going on for the past three and a half decades, is based on the 'hockey stick' hypothesis, itself based on a flawed mathematical model.

The word “denier” was tried and tested but failed by Dan Hodges
I'll have to look that up but do you remember Sadiq Khan called people "far-right, covid deniers, and vaccine deniers?"
I enjoyed calling him a Reality Dan-ier 😀
Oh yes 'lockdown deniers!'
I thought Kahn just likes saying people kahn't (do whatever it is).
I suppose that makes him a kahnt...
That was 'The wrath of Kahn'. Wasn't there a film? :)
You beat me to it, Baroness! Hearing Hodges call people "lockdown deniers" was cringey and nonsensical at best.
Thanks, Francis. A valuable summary indeed.
Thank you, Steve. I hope you're well.
