U.S. automobiles and light trucks are responsible for nearly half of all greenhouse gases emitted by automobiles globally, according to a study by Environmental Defense that provides the first comprehensive look at how American automobiles and driving habits contribute to global warming.
The study also found that the Big Three U.S. automakers account for nearly three-quarters of the carbon dioxide released by cars and pickup trucks on U.S. roads.

Global warming is part of a cycle that has been in place for millions of years. The Vostok Ice Core project in Antarctica contains a precice record of 4 cycles in the past 400,000 years. Paeleoligic evidence, although not as precise as the ice core, also indicates a cycle that originated long before the beginning of human existance.
Whose automobiles were causing global warming then?
