So, at scale...we already have significant discrepancies in the data.
If there are 16 million "small off road engines" and that includes go-karts, dirt bikes, supermotos, scooters, etc, and only 500,000 gas powered leaf blowers, power washers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, etc, do you not think that's an important distinction here?
Each of those individually 1v1 may account for more pollution than a 2017 Camry, but in the aggregate if there are 10 million Camrys / similar vs 500,000 leaf blowers, well, I know which ones are polluting more (and that's not even getting into their example of driving to Denver vs sitting in traffic on 101 for 4 hours a day).
In summary : I'd like to see the data sources and how they came up with these numbers, because I already feel like I'm being significantly misled with this article. Not that that should be any surprise.
