Yes, indeed, diesel trains emit lower emissions when more than 1/3 full. See also #10 here
And, diesel is not the final solution, but it’s a first step. If the protesters would ask for 100% electrified rail it would be shut down as well by opponents that it’s too hard. So I think it’s a very good option to switch to diesel rail for now.

You’re comparing private to public transport though, while ignoring another public alternative that is already operating.
I don’t get why people are so snobby about buses.
Buses are less comfortable than cars, and are probably also slower than a car.
Trains are more comfortable and can be faster than driving.
They’re also far more affordable though. Rail is expensive.
I’m comparing other public transport options, namely road based PT.
Comparing a train to a car is kinda comparing apples to nectarines.
