In 2009, EPA issued an Endangerment Finding that vehicle greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change, and thus threaten public health and welfare. In accord with this schedule, the EPA intends to make a new Final Determination regarding the appropriateness of the standards no later than 1 April 2018. Background.

Cars serve as a means of transportation whose only other dimensions of interest are mpg and cost.

The world is collectively looking for ways to reduce global carbon emissions to prevent a looming climate crisis. According to climate change experts, we need to reduce CO 2 emissions by 50% by 2030, with the ultimate goal being net-zero emissions by 2050. The quest is to find a loan as green as your car.
