Believe it or not most big rigs out there don't release as much Co2 as cars do.Plus there running on Biodiese due to harsh regulations that its standard for them to run on Biodiese.The problem is more so cars that are releasing Co2,Burning coal for electricity,and burning trash.

For any thing to happen here the government needs to place harsher regulations on the oil industry for starters,But thats not going to happen any time soon.Just about half of the government has a hand in the oil industry.When that happens and they do start to crack down on the oil industry that will help out cutting down on Co2 emissions.


As for the weather, the earth goes threw cycles some colder than other some warmer.But global warming is not helping it at all.

As a Canadian, my self i don't take pollution as a big deal, because we have these *recycle* but now we are getting 12 C (53.6F) in the middle of winter. So now I believe that we need to take action, the weird part is that u can spot Canadian goose now. Right now they should be in the south. P.S i am back ** yay!!

The top 10 country's by emissions per capita though 1990 through 2004.

1. Qatar
2. Kuwait
3. United Arab Emirates
4. Luxembourg
5. Trinidad and Tobago
6. Brunei
7. Bahrain
8. Netherlands Antilles
9. Aruba
10. United States

Link:List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions per capita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Some of those in the top ten surprised me.Allot of the smaller county's are pumping out more co2 then the bigger ones.Most likely due to the lack of emissions regulations and efferent vehicle's. The one thing to do is have a world wide emission standerd and it to be enforced for much of any thing to work.Anyway for what every we deiced to do we should do it soon before it truly gets out of hand.

The Middle Eastern countries are not really surprising at all. All of them are major oil exporting countries, and one of the byproducts of oil production is natural gas. With a limited (or none) ability to capture, store, and export this product, the only alternative is flare it off at the well head, and your talking about a very large quantity of methane here...

oh God it is so true!! sometimes i just feel like kick everyone who "doesnt know" what recycle is!! I wonder why a few ppl cares so much and other just dont give a S.H.I.T about it?? in my condominium we have the exact days for put stuff to recycle and guys who goes to each door asking for all type recyclable materials but guess what there's always an a$$hole who throw away recyclable stuff...

According to you, we need pollution, or, contamination in the environment, especially those of man-made waste, as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines pollution, for us to survive. You also seem to think that every person out there against global warming is against all production of CO2, and that they all think that CO2 is man-made. I have no idea about everyone else, but I'm not against the natural production of CO2 at all, and I'm perfectly aware that CO2 is a naturally occurring gas. I can't know for sure, but it seems to me you think that the levels of CO2 produced during modern times (1, 2) are perfectly normal, and aren't really being added to by humans in any way at all. That's basically what you're saying, right?

Only 50% of scientists agree that global warming is actually occurring... References? Links? Sources? And of these scientists you talk about, how many of them are connected with the oil industry and such? And are all of these scientists reliable? Studies have shown that scientists can be biased in their studies and reviews depending on their backgrounds and their connections, especially if they're connected with big industries that could be affected by such research. Oh, and here's an interesting fact: there was a study done that took 928 papers with the keyword listed in the Information Sciences Institute of California with the keywords "climate change", published in refereed scientific journals between 1993 and 2003. The study found that none of the papers disagreed with mainstream consensus. Maybe all those scientists are wrong, but I'm going to keep my opinions on reliable consensus where they are until you give me a proper source on your 50% fact.

I'm pretty sure that everyone knows the weather changes all the time... Otherwise there'd be no weather stations... And yes, the Little Ice Age did happen, and it was caused by a volcanic eruption blocking out the sun's light and warmth, plus the fact that the sun was going through a period of low solar activity. I think by now, most of us (hopefully) understand that there can be some unexpected, natural fluctuations in the weather. But are the temperature changes seen in recent times really just part of a natural cycle? Does human production really not have to do anything with the recent temperature trends? Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research says there weren't times in the past that were as equally warm as today.

I didn't really take that in to account at the time my mistake.In any case they should at least start to use some method to capture, store, and export instead of flaring it off at the well head and polluting the air even more.But that really wont happen unless some one makes them do that or a governing body over sees all production of fossil fuels in the world from my point of view.

There are a lot of Green Technologies which could change our world but the big oil cartels and corporate lobbyists in Congress will pretty much kill most of it.

Rock Paper
Scissors is in big trouble. LOL This is a new paper which is made from rock that's been ground to the consistency of talcum powder and is made into flat sheets using non-toxic resin. This paper is 100% waterproof, 100% grease proof, print requires 20% less ink, and its 100% non-polluting and biodegradable. Over time it crumbles to harmless rock dust.

Air Powered Cars
A French company called has developed a car which has begin productions in India which runs entirely on compressed air. The vehicle is incredibly fuel efficient using a gas powered compressor to keep the explosion-proof carbon fibre tank topped up. For only $3 you can go ... oh ... 300 miles!!! The air is regular outside air and is safe for use in the vehicle's A/C system. The car should start selling in Europe pretty soon and hopefully should make it here in the US.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells
For an investment of under $100,000 or less you can take your entire home off the grid and run off fuel cells. You need and electrolysis equipment which takes ordinary tap or well water and separates it into oxygen and hydrogen. You store the hydrogen in tanks and use it in a fuel cell which then generates power and produces pure clean water as the only by product. The electrolysis equipment can be completely solar powered. All of this equipment is available to your average consumer right now, you just need to know where to look. I think you need to build the fuel cell and there are kits that show you how. If I had the money I'd build myself one, and perhaps make money building them for others.

Vegetable Oil Car Conversions
This had been around for a while now. In places you can get your car modified to run on vegetable oil. You can practically get it for free from restaurants who normally just throw it out anyway. All you need to do is filter it yourself and that's so mind numbingly easy that not doing this conversion because of this step is a sad excuse. Anyway, fuel economy various but the oil burns clean with no harmful emissions and the fuel itself provides lubrication for the engine. Not only that but when using this fuel your car will also be quieter. Check around, most major cities have at least one or two places that do these kinds of conversions. I heard it works best on diesel engines and was even done on a turbine engine for a Hummer conversion and was so whisper quiet you had to open the hood and feel the engine to know it was on.
