I doubt any in gov't towing the "green" party line has ever read those facts or would
accept them. Too bad, they should be published on page 1 with an eye catching
headline. We suspected intuitively that trains were bad but the tanker pollution
is a shocker. The lack of insight about oil tranportation is shameful. Its ignorant
and dishonest to the nth degree and the public is being sold a bill of rotten goods.
But we know, and the heads of government definitely know (they got elected didn't they), that the public at large is a very gullible entity -- so the public gets very highly exploited by the government & politicians each and every day. People have a natural tendency to believe whatever the Government is feeding them. They would much rather believe it than doubt it -- that gives them a much more comfortable feeling -- and by human nature, that's how they like to be.
Good examples are the "forecast conversion time frames for 'green' energy", covid and covid vaccines, the hazards of carbon emissions as being existential, and many more. People are generally easily snowed when it comes from on-high.
