To be Fair Congress Should Applaud and Help The "Detroit Three." They are Doing Much More to Reduce Greenhouse Gases than the Tokyo Three Plus China

March 7, 2007

There is no unambiguous proof that global warming is not a natural phenomenon independent of anything done by mankind. There is a great deal of evidence that the earth's climate has gone through many cycles of rapid cooling and warming in the recent past well before any carbon dioxide emissions attributable to anthropogenesis, other than breathing, existed.

Japan and China now build, in total together, each year many more cars and trucks than are built in the United States. Less than 3% of that total are hybrids, and nearly 90% of those are exported for sale in the US, because the domestic. Asian, market doesn't want them.

Japan and China together emit 50% more carbon dioxide than does the United States with China, alone already accounting for about as much as the United States even though its GDP is only 1/5 that of the US.

Japanese and Chinese production of cars and of greenhouse gases is growing more each year than the reductions from the United States can ever balance.

American unilateral greenhouse gas reduction is economic suicide.

Current Automotive Response to Global Warming

February 2, 2007

Analysis by: GLG Expert Contributor

The Big Three have been making an effort to move out of the shadows regarding public relations of the global warming issue. The Japanese automakers have clearly established a lead position in being perceived as being more environmentally orientated. However, after looking at what the key automakers are actually implementing in their current and forward high volume product plans it is obvious that there is not a significant concern for global warming.

Can the Big3 (or the auto industry as a whole) stop Global Warming?

January 31, 2007

The earth is going through a warming cycle that may or may be due to automotive emissions. Despite of the uncertainty, the Big 3 car companies (and the automotive industry as a whole) are under the gun to respond to the problem. This response is already well underway, however there is a difference between technical advancements at an automotive manufacturer and that automaker receiving the public recognition as a result (sales of improved vehicles). New regulations if poorly conceived may inhibit this progress.
