Cons
editThe second sentence in the last paragraph under "cons" reads "although this type of diesel realizes fewer sulfur compounds into the atmosphere, other potent greenhouse gases are released, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which lead to gaps in the atmosphere." There is no evidence that the sulfur compounds from diesel exhaust have any greenhouse effect, so "other" does not follow logically from the preceding text. There is a misleading implication that water vapor released from car and truck exhaust has a "potent" greenhouse effect, there is no evidence for this. There are no "gaps" in the atmosphere. I believe the author is referring to "ozone holes" which are regions of the ozone layer that are depleted of ozone by as much as 66%. I think the following would be more accurate: although this type of diesel releases fewer sulfur compounds into the atmosphere, the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is released, which ultimately leads to global warming and ozone depletion.
