I could swear I had already mentioned, multiple times, that I'm not talking about the greenhouse effect. I'm talking about things that are immediately poisonous and can result in, among other issues, acid rain.
Yeah, so that's called air pollution and it includes things like Sulphur dioxides, Nox, and indeed carbon monoxide. But if you aggregate all motorcycles, even as higher air pollutant contributors they add a pathetically small amount of these pollutants to the atmosphere, because they are too small and don't pump enough air to be a threat. That's just common sense. The far greater threat is greenhouse gas emissions, and those come from cars to the largest extent. So motorcycles are a valid alternative especially since their emissions are on the rapid decline thanks to new U.S. CAFE standards.
