Remember how many senior managers from automakers went to jail for the rigging of diesel car emissions during regulatory tests and which is estimated to have caused and still cause tens of thousands of additionl deaths in Europe due to the additional polution?

That would be that magical number that when multiplied by any other number yields itself as result: zero.

If per the actual actions of these politicians (not their words, talk is cheap and their words are often unrelated to their actions) even the lifes of europeans are less important than the continued prosperity of those "oh so important" top managers in the auto industry, you can hardly expect they would treat Climate as anywhere as important as the profitability of the auto industry.
