Under Brown, California has sought to scale back dirty power plants, reduce the number of gas - powered cars on the roads, and cut industrial greenhouse gas emissions through a cap - and - trade program that requires businesses to pay to pollute.

The city council looked at their emissions as a result of fuel for their fleet of cars and trucks and running City of Sydney events (9 % of total), energy emissions from the likes of street lighting and City owned properties (72 %) and then all other emissions such as those caused by the City's operations, including contractors and business travel - taxis, flights, etc (19 %) For the financial year of 06 - 7 this gave them a total of over 48,500 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

These rising temperatures — caused primarily by an increase of heat - trapping emissions in the atmosphere created when we burn coal, oil, and gas to generate electricity, drive our cars, and fuel our businesses — are what we refer to as global warming.
