SNEWS® Live: It’s an ironic twist of fate that those of us who most want to protect the environment are actively participating in its deterioration. Who among us hasn’t driven an automobile to visit and explore the wild places we cherish? From the exhaust pipes of our vehicles, the greenhouse gases we emit contribute to the warming of the planet.
