More and more citizens have global warming on their mind but continue to choose not do anything about it. Scientists find threating evidence of global warming and believe human activity and our choice of vehicles are to blame. We know one solution to help prevent global warming is driving ecofriendly cars and on the contrary, Christian Science Monitor blogger John Voelcker indicated over ninety-nine percent of consumers will remain interested in buying a traditional gas operated vehicle (Voelcker 2013) because they are more comfortable with their conventional automobile choices. This paper will attempt to examine the current lack of motivation for human to change their current driving habits. I intend to explore reasons why consumers ignore

I found an article by Brian Kahn titled “World 's Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Passes 400 PPM Threshold. Permanently” that provides scientific evidence of global warming. His article explains this September the carbon dioxide levels have set a record. He continues to explain how in the month of September, the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are at their lowest for the year. He adds this September, the level of atmospheric CO2 levels never dropped below 400 parts per million (ppm). Kahn states since the levels never dropped below 400 ppm during the lowest point of the year, scientists believe the level will never drop below ever again. He adds these new levels are causing scientists to predict this year as the hottest year on record. Kahn’s article provides scientific proof of global …show more content…
I discovered this not the case. While reading Lydia Saad’s article titled “American concerns about global warming on the Rise” I observed a chart that corresponded to a Gallup poll conducted in 2013. This poll was done to determine how concerned Americans are about global warming. I concluded that 58% of Americas worry about global warming (Saad 2013). It doesn’t make sense why over 99% of consumers will continue to drive gas operated vehicles (Voelcker 2013) if 58% are concerned about global warming (Saad 2013). Sixty percent of consumers who are concerned with climate change are still not ready to buy an ecofriendly vehicle. Despite the benefits of ecofriendly cars, consumers continue to stick to their traditional gas operated vehicles. Next I will explore the reasons
