Default Car stock/CO2 emissions.

China has a population of around 1.4 Billion, It has 14million cars in the country.
India has a pop. of 1.1 Billion, It has 12million cars in the country.

France has 35million cars for 65million people, UK has 32million cars for 60million people, and the USA has 223 million cars for 303million people.

Now considering the fast pace China and parts of India are advancing towards a 1st world economy(Most of us know China will be the new superpower in 20 years) The amount of cars in these countrys is only going to increase,Now I may be stating the bloody obvious, but assuming this fact, and the obvious increase of car demands in these countrys, then use this while considering alot of asian/african/eastern europe countries that are advancing, its gets a bit scary.

There will be hundreds of millions of cars in China alone, and high double digits in India, maybe more. They aren't all going to be riding bikes when they start making good wages.

There are over 650 million motor vehicles in the World today, in 2020 there most likely will be almost 2 billion vechicles. Take into account the Co2 fumes given off(and oil needed) and the amount of new Industrys that will be poping up all over the place over the next 12 years and its safe to say our o-zone/atmosphere is fooked.

Im sure alot of you knew this, and may think im just beating a dead hippie horse, but It makes you seriously wonder.
I knew we were ****ing up this planet, its hard not to with all the global warming stuff we here constantly but I had no idea how much emmisions we would be giving off in several years, or the damage we were really doing.
