Climate change has been one of the most discussed issues in these modern days. It is prove on many researches that the increase in man-made green house gas emission can significantly affect the climate in the world, on every part of the globe. In the last few years, climate change has become the most researched subject in science. The reason is that because climate change can affect significantly to the earth and it has to be taken care of. In a business world, particularly in Automotive Industry, climate change is also one of the must discussed subject, and because of automobile is one of the factors that produce the most CO2 (Carbon dioxide), it become one issue that force automotive industry to change their product to reduce the amount of CO2 emission. Climate change in automotive industry represent both threat and opportunity in the business. It gives opportunity for the car makers to develop a new technology that is more environmental friendly, which can reduce the amount of green house gas emission. It also gives the carmakers to create a more energy efficient in their operations, which can cut the unnecessary production costs. Other opportunity is the fact that they will use this global concern to further research and investigate the use of creating a new energy source, and helping reducing the pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels. However, for automotive industry, climate change does not only provide opportunities but also threat to the business. It is a threat because about 12 percent of all manmade green house gas emission today is in cars and trucks of all makes on the road today, which means that the car produced in the last 20 decades are producing enormous number of Green House Gas and it is a threat for car maker company because these are their products and if the concern about the climate change, who would want to purchase a car that produce too much Green House Gas emission that will raise the chance for a climate change. Almost all car makers around the world are responding to this issue and have begin their research to reduce the risk of climate change. The steps that the car manufacturers have to take to deal with this situation are to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions and waste produced by both of their manufacturing factories and vehicle by implementing new measures in their factories and by looking at using renewable fuels that produce cleaner emission.
Americas love affair with the automobile has caused more than a few problems for our environment. Air pollution may well be the number one problem, but there is others. For example, we throws away 240 to 260 million tires each year-tires that are not never biodegradable and although some companies recycles tires into road surfacing materials, the process are expensive. Another problem is the worlds dwindling supply of petroleum. More earth friendly alternatives must be found so that Americas love affair with cars don't turn into no fatal
Volkswagen is facing sever environmental and climatic issues since its co2 emission scandal came into picture. The company using ‘defeat software’ to cheat the norms of emission was one thing that has led to many reparation losses as well as devaluation of the stocks of VW. Therefore the company now wants a sustainable climatic policy in line with EPA so that such kind of challenges are not faced in future.
Many negative impacts have resulted from global warming, but many positive changes have been made by humanity. There have been many ideas on what humans can do to improve on the green house gases and CO2 emissions we create and where it can lead us to. For example, reducing CO2 emissions have been giving many thoughts of what could cause the upraising of green house gases. One of the main sources is automobile emissions. The makers of Shell Gasoline Corporation, a Fortu...
Inventers are trying their best to lower the chances of our global climate changing so much. Every year 15 million gas powered cars are sold around the world. When people use gasoline powered cars, the fumes from the exhausts rises into Earth’s atmosphere and helps destroy our ozone layer. The ozone layer helps keep UV rays from beating directly on our skin. The ozone has a cavity or small hole appearing in the middle of it, which mean it can’t block UV rays. Fumes from the car play a huge part in this catastrophe. While the hole gradually increases, more heat is allowed into our atmosphere which makes Earth’s temperature rise. To solve this predicament we can stop using gasoline and diesel powered vehicles. Electric cars can eliminate this huge issue with our planet and its
We cannot dispute that automobiles, factories, and power plants, displace an unprecedented twenty tons of carbon monoxide - per person - per year. There needs to be a reduction in emissions, yet we cannot focus on this aspect of global warming alone. There are many indicators that climatic change is influencing the frequency and intensity of natural catastrophes. If scientific global climate models are accurate, the present problems will be magnified in the near future.
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Greenhouse gases can destroy Ozone air layer that shields dangerous waves from sunlight like ultraviolet wave. The result of that hazardous waves able to down to the ground too much and the earth get higher temperature. There are many organizations are trying to create technologies that can reduce the greenhouse gases such as the Nissan automobile. Nissan Leaf is a model of electric cars that Nissan created for decreasing releasing amount of greenhouse gases. Electric cars use electricity for transportation, so when drivers are driving the cars on the road, they will not release any carbon dioxide. However, the electricity that electric cars use for recharging comes
Electricity production is one of the factors contributing to climate change this is responsible for more than 25% of CO2 emissions. The modern car accounts for about 20% of fossil fuel released in the
If real progress is to be made with this issue, then laws need to be put into place that will limit the polluting of everyone, not just major companies. One way to do this without taking away individual rights, is to tighten emissions standards on motorized vehicles. In the United States, these vehicles account for just about 20% of all emissions. This emits around 24 pounds of carbon dioxide for every gallon of gas(Union of Concerned Scientists, 1). By tightening these standards so that these numbers go down significantly, great progress can be made toward a much more environmentally friendly nation.
...al combustion vehicle emissions. Sustainable practices, technology, collaborations are producing a new breed of vehicles aiming for a greener future for the world. These efficient vehicles seek to forge a green future.
Companies are making great strides in developing new and innovative measures to decrease the negative effect on our environment through what is called green practices. There are many pressures by the consumers and governing agencies where the auto manufacturers are located to improve on green practices. This has pushed many companies to adopt green practices across the board to better themselves as well as increase sales and profits. The article “Green initiatives: A step towards sustainable development and firm 's performance in the automobile industry” written by Kushwaha and Sharma, they reviewed data to decide if following green practices yield positive results for automobile firms.
There is an estimate of 1.3 million cars in the world, in the United States alone the ration from person to cars is 1.3. That 's almost 255 million cars in the roads every single day. Just imagine, “Burning one gallon of gas creates 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, and the average car emits about six tons of carbon dioxide every year”(Global Warming And Your Car).Imagine how many tons of Carbon dioxide are emitted into the air by everyone in the world. The carbon that gets emitted into the air doesn 't just affect the climate it also affects us by polluting the very air that we breath. Air pollution causes around 3.3 million deaths worldwide every year. One of the biggest places with contamination is China, the main reason for that is because of all of the factories that they have and all the carbon dioxide that gets let out.People and their decisions are the main reason for climate change, they only think about the present and never about the
Many hazardous pollutants escape from the internal combustion of the engine. Conventional gas powered vehicles use irreplaceable fossil fuels to run. When burned, these fossil fuels create numerous toxins like carbon dioxide (Larminie 246). Carbon dioxide is considered the main greenhouse gas that creates the foundation for global warming (hybridcars.com, pollutants). This harmful pollutant may not have a serious effect on people at first, but it does have consequential effects on the environment that in turn put people in danger (Nutramed.com). The major consequence caused by global warming is the rise in average temperature. This results in a domino...
Car pollutants cause immediate and long-term effects on the environment. Car exhausts emit a wide range of gases and solid matter, causing global warming, acid rain, and harming the environment and human health. Engine noise and fuel spills also cause pollution. Cars, trucks and other forms of transportation are the single largest contributor to air pollution in the United States, but car owners can reduce their vehicle's effects on the environment. Car pollution is one of the major causes of global warming. Cars and trucks emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which contribute one-fifth of the United States' total global warming pollution. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which causes worldwide temperatures to rise.
In conclusion, global climate change is a very long discussion with many ways to improve the environment, but a long journey to finding a solution. Although we can 't do away with our main sources like power plants, cars, and factories we must continue to find solutions to making our environment safer and suitable to live in. Hopefully in the near future we will have a better understanding of how to address our global climate changes, but for now, we can focus our ideas on preventative ways to not harm ourselves and our
Competition for good things like public health, making the earth safe to live are positive aspects of competition, but global competition can also have a downside concerning the environment. This is true for the production of vehicles, as companies are coming with designs and new models with improved engines, but fuel consumption and the pollution of the air remains the same. In addition to the concerns about car manufacturing and driving, we should also consider the impact of construction areas where new houses are being built, with many truck with loads going across the country. This is an important contribution to pollution, which creates both air and noise pollution. Japan and Europe auto manufacturing based in US has recently involved activities to improve fuel efficiency of their vehicles. The European car makers planned to design a new engine and at same time to develop long distance vehicles. The autos made in Europe, for example Daimler Chrysler, recently came out with a new product which is a vehicle with 3 liters per hour, and also a diesel engine, which consumes 3.4 liters of fuel per 100
