How do you keep from polluting and causing global warming by transportation and industry?

Over land, rail cars can haul a ton of freight nearly 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Trolley cars generally use electricity rather than fossil fuel--though in some cases the electricity may be produced by burning coal or oil. Public transportation tends to be much more fuel efficient than single passenger automobiles.

What impact is burning fossil fuels having on the global climate?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit polluting greenhouse gases which are incredible harmful to the planet, causing global warming. Global warming is causing climate change.
Did the discovery of petroleum contribute to the increase in global warming?
Yes. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming.
The naturally occurring atmospheric gas that is blamed for causing global warming is?
Carbon dioxide has been charged and convicted of causing global warming.
Are there reasons to use more renewables now rather wait until nonrenewables run out?
Yes, using renewables now will give us a cleaner safer planet. Burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels, provide power for industry, transport and electricity generation, but it comes with a polluting cost. The burning releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, which is causing global warming.
Which effect is responsible for global warming?
The enhanced greenhouse effect in our atmosphere is believed to be causing global warming.
How can you stop carbon dioxide?
We can stop the extra carbon dioxide emissions that are causing global warming only by:ReforestationAfforestationMoving to renewable non-polluting energyStop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
What impact is burning fossil fuels having on the global climate?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit polluting greenhouse gases which are incredible harmful to the planet, causing global warming. Global warming is causing climate change.
Why is water polluting important?
Water pollution is important because it kills our environment and causes global warming and make glaciers melt ,that are causing floods.
Does polluting cause acid rain?
not even close polluting causes globle warming
How did it affect people and the environment?
What do you mean by it? humans are affecting the environment by using petrol too much and factory's with smoke are polluting the air. this is causing global warming
Why do some people and nation encourage the development of energy sources other the fossil?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity releases carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming and climate change.A move to renewable, non-polluting energy would slow this warming.
Does greening transportation help stop global warming?
Yes, if all transport ran on renewable, non-polluting energy then that would be a great step towards slowing (not stopping) global warming. Transport contributes about 15% of human carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Is global warming a sign for humans to stop polluting?
yes, yes it is.
Why isglobal warming happening?
Because people are polluting the earth. which causes it,
What are the causes of glolbal warming?
the polluting in the sky and the wast that goes around the earth and the space craft in space that is global warming
Are bio-fuels good?
Yes because they do not add polluting carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming. (They release carbon dioxide that was recently removed from the air, so biofuels are carbon-neutral.)
Why is carbon dioxide a pollution?
Carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels is polluting the atmosphere causing an overload to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. We burn fossil fuels to generate electricity and to drive transport. So much extra CO2 is causing global warming.
