2. That's one kind of hot. Here's another. 1998 set a record for the highest average global temperature. British meteorologists think that 2007 is likely to match, or beat, that record. Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, and in Canada they're still on the rise. By 2004 greenhouse gas emissions had increased by 159 million metric tonnes over what they were in 1990. About one quarter of that increase came from road transportation. So what do you know about greenhouse gases and transportation? Let's find out!
What contributed the most to the increase in greenhouse gases from transportation?
a) longer commutes
b) cars & station wagons
c) heavy trucks
d) vans, SUVs & pickup trucks

I would think that Canada would appreciate Global Warming! 5 degrees of warming means that millions of acres of Canada will be poised to be the new "Bread Bowl" of the world with much longer growing seasons and a more temperate climate. Plus, all that extra farming would mean more plants to absorb CO2!
To keep this cycle increasing, do the following:
Buy a brand new car and commute as far as possible everyday.
