to add fuel to the fire...global warming is indeed a natural phenomenon. It has happened thousands of times in the past, and will happen thousands of times in the future. The media has DEFINITELY blown this way out of proportion, and toyota has made a fortune off of it. The funny thing about these supposed "green cars" is that an old VW bug with the TDI motor gets almost 20 miles to the gallon better than they do. Media hype. Also, CO2 is certainly a problem in the atmosphere, but there are many other gasses and substances that are FAR worse things out there. CFC's for example, trap tens of thousands more times the temperature that co2 does. Methane also traps much more than CO2. If you wanna rag on the USA for global warming, you should probably stop eating beef, since the majority of methane emissions in the world come from belching and flatulating cows. Bottom line, the USA is not the only problem, CO2 is not the only problem, and the problem is probably not even that big of a problem in the long run. Have a good day
