Personally, I would rather have a little more smoke come out of the tailpipe and burn less diesel (and therefore emit less "greenhouse gas") than burn more (and emit more "greenhouse gas") only to have cleaner-looking exhaust.

Bias much?
How do you know it is ONLY, as you put it, Cleaner LOOKING?
I mean, cite the actual emissions levels in CO2 for both of the scenarios- not just visible soot.
Are you actually suggesting that removing the emissions control on a disel is a net zero greenhouse gas proposition??? Or actually removing is an improvement?
I dont know myself, but why dont you post up your data?
or is this just a political/philosophical bias?
