"They conclude that emissions of diesel soot and other forms of black 
carbon may have a warming impact on Earth’s atmosphere second only to 
carbon dioxide."

Seems that camp can't even get their facts straight. Last I heard, CO2 
was actually fairly low on the list of "greenhouse gases" with methane 
some 25x stronger at the act than CO2, and water vapor some 14x 
stronger, but now apparently the almighty carbon dioxide molecule has 
been catapulted to the top of the list.

I roll my eyes at this commentary.
