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.

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.


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.


Why is solving global warming so difficult?
