What you should not forget is, that CO2 isn't the only gas emitted by diesel cars.
Gases and dust, that are a serious health hazard en masse in cities.
Also I doubt that the 79g/100km is the full number, that includes drilling for, refining and transporting that diesel to your car, before you can burn it there.
And btw., those kids in africa are poisening themself with ICE car parts too.
So I don't think anyone said, we should all wreck our ice cars today and go all electric immediately. That clearly makes no sense ressource wise.
But in the long run, yes. I want noise, smoke, fumes and dust free cities as soon as possible, along with a somewhat stable and intact environment. You have to start somewhere.
In cities we should be encouraging e-bikes more in my opinion. They take up much less space than cars, are quieter, cheaper, and healthier. Even electric cars make almost the same amount of noise at speed as ICE cars and still emit dust from breaking down tires.
