Driving hybrid/electric cars is not the solution. Dang it with the no editing! They had their hottest day:
The EPA estimates that regular use of a car results in about 5. 1 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year so using some very tricky math that means that over that same four-year period a car will let loose with 20.4 metric tons
The books may only be 1/20th of the car but I'd bet that's more than you expected.
Let's assume though that you've spent 8. 6 years in your light-speed car and that the radiation and heat emanating from the star didn't kill you on your approach.

This is What's Causing Climate Changeif you tried to list the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions you might say cars or cows or airplanes.
Greenhouse gases from fossil fuel burning are broken further down into type (coal oil natural gas) and then even further to specifics like cars airplanes and industries like paper or iron production.
Cars are predictably the biggest individual contributor. But the next biggest? Deforestation. Chopping down forests doesn't just make our land less pretty
and huge spaces paved for cars is also the biggest contributor to forest and green space destruction.
It takes a football field of asphalt for every 5 cars and suburban sprawl chopping down Orange groves forests farms etc is only possible with Auto Addicted transit.<
Cars and Capitalism: On the road to Economic Social and Ecological Decay<p>http://www. greenleft. org. au/node/49946<p>The car is a huge devourer of space âÂ
#Âroads garages petrol stations and parking make up between one-third and one-half of the total space in US cities.
The two million cars added to the US automotive fleet each year require asphalting space equivalent to 400000 football fields paving over prime farmland.
and the car promotes an ugly urban housing sprawl. Actually fortunately since 2006 when the US hit Peak Cars the number of cars in the US has been declining.
But tragically China and India's increases in Auto Addiction are one of the major factors leading to their huge increases in usage of dwindling Peak Oil.
Also if you are so against natural gas production/oil production you really should sell your car grow your own food make your own cloths

To be fair the poll also asked Americans about robots in the military which is like a legitimate question given our recent discovery that we can have robots shoot people as well as questions about robotic (autonomous) cars and robots in the workplace.

#Are Birds Evolving To Not Get Hit By Cars? If you've ever had the soul-crushing misfortune of hitting a bird
and so occasionally get hit by cars. The researchers tracked birds who've died by car
and then compared them to birds who accidentally died some other way. They've found that during the last three decades the swallows have been dying less by car
and it's not caused by the number of birds in the area or number of cars on the road.
Something else is up the researchers surmised. The roadkill surveys indicate it's the long-winged swallows who are getting hit by cars;
the shorter-winged birds may be able to turn and take off faster than their counterparts avoiding oncoming traffic.
I believe the term they were looking for was natural selection. obviously the animals smart enough to not get hit by cars would be selected the ones for based on the new environment the birds live in currently.
One thing I notice is that some insects try desperately to land on the tarmac before being hit by a (my) car.
and the others get hit by cars and die off. Even when the evidence stares them in the face all the religious nutcases--billions of them--refuse to accept the facts.
Anyicon and wheresfluffy let's start off with something a bit simpler such as teaching people to look both ways so that they don't step out in front of moving cars?@
The way this article writes it It sounds more like scientists observed that birds with shorter wings spans are less likely to get hit by cars than birds with longer wingspans.
If you want to talk about vehicles acting as weapons I give you the average car.@@mayan Laser pointers are almost completely harmless
Think of how much power is needed say for a Google Car to be able to scan the environment
The trust would divert that funding into the research and development of alternative fuel sources to get cars and trucks off oil.
As a comparison a person has about a 1 percent chance of being killed in a car crash.
