According to the NRDC, National Resource Defense Council, the ten hottest years on record have all occurred since 1990. The level of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, in the Earths atmosphere has hit a record high going beyond acceptable limits. The US is producing more carbon dioxide than any other country as it is only 5 percent of the world population yet produces 25% of the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, as reported by Time magazine(April 2006). As a result, higher temperatures are threatening dangerous consequences through melting glaciers, drought, disease, floods and lost ecosystems, according to the NRDC.
Countries like Japan and states like Oregon and California have already started taking measures to stimulate public awareness. Japans government is paying half of the cost of hybrid cars bought by its citizens. Oregon is issuing grants to companies who install environmental-friendly energy generators. California lawmakers have proposed a bill that would set enforceable limits on greenhouse gas emissions, with a goal of cutting the states pollution 25 percent by 2020.
Hybrid cars are gaining in popularity as major car manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda and Ford introduce traditionally successful designs with hybrid engines. Hybrid cars can be 50 to 80 percent more fuel efficient than standard vehicles. In an effort to raise awareness the federal government has instituted a tax credit to hybrid car owners.
