2006Dec: Greenhouse gas emissions from different forms of Australian transport (kgs of greenhouse gas per person per km) (AGO, 2006). From the Suzuki Foundation, “The pollutants we pump into our atmosphere are changing its composition and preventing heat from escaping the earth’s surface. Today’s atmosphere contains 32% more CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases, than at the start of the industrial era. The result is climate change: altered long-term weather patterns” (Suzuki Foundation).
