Well, they did miss a couple of things such as:
These engines run at high compression ratios and therefore high temperatures, which creates a high level of nitrogen oxide from the sulfur in diesel fuel.
One can create nitrogen oxides from nitrogen, but not sulfur.

And I disagree with their projection about gasoline, but that's something that remains to be seen.

NOx from sulfer. That's a good one.
