A new study by Stanford University atmospheric scientist Mark Jacobson has revealed that worsening air pollution and
higher carbon dioxide emissions go hand - in - hand - the results suggest intensifying global warming will increase the number of smog - related deaths.
Thus, would you rather have some of your money
going toward the makers of
high - efficiency vehicles, many (or at least some) of which should be in the U.S., helping to create or preserve jobs in the U.S, by making these shifts, and all - the - while helping to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions and protect the climate; OR would you rather continue to have much more of your money
going to ExxonMobil and to overseas providers of oil, all - the - while continuing to pour larger amounts of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
Left to themselves,
carbon -
dioxide levels in the atmosphere are expected to remain
high for 1,000 years — more, if
emissions continue to
go up through this century.
