Not to belittle the actual problem of tire rubber particulates, but the wording of the headline is very consistent with a green nationalist focus on "pollution" and "clean air" that minimizes exactly how many orders of magnitude more dangerous GHG emissions are than anything like this.

Also, even this is total bullshit - "more particle pollution by mass?" So CO2 is not a particle? A typical car emits waaaay more CO2 by mass in a month than the mass of an entire set of tires.

Again, not to minimize the actual cause for concern, but wording like this actively minimizes the climate apocalypse that the developed world has created and is sustaining.
