The head of the International Energy Agency warns Europe has about six weeks of jet fuel left. In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Fatih Birol expressed concerns about possible flight cancellations if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.

Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency said Thursday in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.

IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of what he called “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.

“In the past there was a group called ‘Dire Straits.’ It’s a dire strait now, and it is going to have major implications for the global economy. And the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the economic growth and inflation around the world,” he said.

      You havent provided any sources and your claims are nonsense.

      NO2 is a notorious byproduct of diesel engines at 10x the rate of gasoline cars. Dieselgate cars emitted 40x the legal amount. You can’t quite do this, but roughly that means a dieselgate vehicle emitted 400x the NO2 of a gasoline car.

      This math is just nonsense. As you see from the emission standards, the NOx emissions are only slightly higher for diesel cars. Also the 40x number is about US regulations not european ones. Just find some actual sources for this maybe then come back and reply.
