| 摘要： | The transportation sector's contribution to global warming is responsible for 33% of United States emissions from fossil fuel combustion. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a properly maintained average passenger car with annual mileage of 12,500 miles, averaging fuel consumption of 21.5 miles per gallon (MPG), consumes 581 gallons of gasoline, and emits 77.1 pounds of hydrocarbons, 11,450 pounds of CO2, 575 pounds of CO, and 38.2 pounds of nitrogen oxides per year. Approximately 7% of all greenhouse gases released by humanity worldwide originate in the US transportation system. If current trends persist, US transportation greenhouse gases could be half again as much by 2020. |
