You understand that this is about NOx and not CO2 right? Not sure if you are a kid and not a fan of history but smog was a huge issue in the US at one point. Emission controls have solved that. Seems like just a bunch of nuts to those who are younger as you have had smog free lives for the most part.

"Though Los Angeles was one of the best known cities suffering from transportation smog for much of the 20th century, so much so that it was sometimes said that Los Angeles was a synonym for smog,[63] strict regulations by government agencies overseeing this problem, including tight restrictions on allowed emissions levels for all new cars sold in California and mandatory regular emission tests of older vehicles, resulted in significant improvements in air quality. For example, air concentrations of volatile organic compounds declined by a factor of 50 between 1962 and 2012.[64] Concentrations of air pollutants such as nitrous oxides and ozone declined by 70% to 80% over the same period of time."
