Diesel and petrol cars can be banned sooner than we think

A Greenpeace study shows that the only way to diminish global warming is to ban all cars that run on fuel. If such machines continue to be manufactured, the EU's anti-pollution measures will be useless.

And this is a conclusion we get without too much statistics or studies, it's somewhat logical, but I think it will not be possible the way Greenpeace wants. However, they are of the opinion that the disposal of petrol, diesel and even hybrid cars in Europe will come sooner than you would have expected, about in ten years, as a force measure on the part of the European Union to comply with the provisions of the from Paris.

It was signed by almost all the world states when it came to the conclusion that all countries are contributing to global warming to a greater or less extent and certain rules have to be respected.

The Paris Accord forces the signatory states to pass laws and take action on polluting industries so as not to exceed the climate warming by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. But, say Greenpeace Belgium, following a study conducted by the German Aerospace Center, to keep pollution levels up to that value, EU countries need to stop manufacturing and selling fossil-fuel cars .

That means goodbye to diesel, gasoline, LPG and even hybrid cars (for which it is logical that drivers use more gasoline because they have more autonomy).

Following the study, two camps were identified: those who believe that there is a 50% chance that Europe will not exceed that value of 1.5 degrees Celsius and the most optimistic, who think they are 66 percent likely to remain in the pre-established parameters . No matter which camp you are in, the climate continues to warm up in more and more areas of the planet (but not everywhere), and the pollution increases steadily.

Cars, even with Euro 6, are considered the biggest sources of pollution because there are many and are spread around the world. No matter how it reduces CO2 emissions, as long as the machine burns a fossil fuel to operate, it obviously affects the environment. And we're talking about billions of cars, of all kinds. The highest concentration being in America, Europe and Asia.

There are also some of the world's largest car manufacturers in Europe, so it's the main target, but it's not the biggest polluter. China has the largest car market in the world, so the government has expressed its position that it will gradually abandon all cars on fuel. But do you think she will? We'll see. In the US, there is no doubt. When Trump heard of such measures, he found the solution: to bring the US out of the Paris Agreement.

The EU invests enormous amounts of money to protect the environment, but if it does not want money to be spent in vain, gasoline, diesel and LPG should disappear from the market by the end of the next decade, according to the Greenpeace study. This will upset oil giants and consumers alike and so, man is once again his own enemy.

As I support the electric cars I totally agree with moving away from fuel based tools. At least this is what we can do to protect the earth and let's not forget that the electric cars open a new door to the future, to the automation and integration with anything that we want to.
