You're right, I'm not asthmatic and my comments are not targeted towards anyone who is - please also note that this thread is discussing petrol vehicles, not diesels.

I also acknowledge that the whole thing started with the diesels.

My point was, nobody knew what was going on 3 months ago and now it's everyone's problem?

What would have happened if the uni students didn't discover the problem - nothing!

Would we be having this discussion? - No!

Would VW (or any other brand) be blamed for the worlds "emissions" problems? No!

I can't help but feel that today's society is 'looking' for the next person to blame or the next law suit.

What VW did was wrong, but if it wasn't discovered, "who cares" or perhaps should I have said "who knew"
