Diesel cars worse for climate than petrol – Media Coverage

Green Budget Europe organised a morning briefing on the future of diesel cars at the European Parliament on February 17, 2016.

The aim of the briefing was to highlight the true impact of diesel on climate, which is intensifying rather mitigating global warming. The finding – contradicting claims by diesel-dominated car-makers – is contained in a briefing by Dr Eckard Helmers, Professor of chemical and environmental analysis at Trier University of Applied Sciences, for Green Budget Europe.
