And as a look out of the window, on a sunny Sunday, all I see are hundreds of unnecessarily large SUVs riding around (1 person per vehicle, usually), contributing - like every day - their good share of superfluous greenhouse gases to our atmosphere. Probably going to/from a place where a walk or a bike ride would suffice, or where public transportation could get you to in no time. CO2 emission per capita continue increasing [1], and its no surprise why. In the US, personal vehicles account for over 25% of greenhouse emissions - that accounts for about 0.1ppm/year C02 increase in the atmosphere [from 2, 3], or an extra 10ppm in the next century if things don't change. That only from cars. But things are not going to change. Companies are already studying how much money they will save by shipping things over the artic when all ice is gone during the summer. That's due to happen within the next 50 years.
