Transportation emissions

This is a page of total bollocks and, as far as I can see, is irredeemable. The first sentence is wrong: "Transportation emissions are gases released into the air that come from fossil fuels." So, burning coal in the home is a transportation emission? And it goes on the same: "The gases emit CO2": no they don't, the gases don't emit anything. etc etc. The image used to illustrate has absolutely nothing to do with transportation! The article is written in a "you can do this" attitude - hardly encyclopaedic. It contains a very long list of See also links which seem to be largely random (Stench !). This seems, at best, a rough draft for a schoolkid's homework. I have frequently argued in AfD that a poorly written aricle is not grounds for deletion but a spur to improvement. In this case, I make an exception since there is nothing to salvage or merge to other places. Emeraude (talk) 09:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is substantive info here, some good ref.'s and an overall structure for a decent page. Poorly written perhaps, but not irredeemable. First sentence only has a comma wrong. I don't see where it says "The gases emit CO2". Could use the tag: Fredwerner (talk) 11:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has been edited since I made my comment. Look at a previous version from History. Emeraude (talk) 12:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
