Putting the Brakes on Global Warming:How the Clean Cars Program Will Reduce Global Warming Pollution in North Carolinaby Elizabeth Ridlington, Frontier Group, and Elizabeth Ouzts, Environment North Carolina Research & Policy Center Executive Summary North Carolina could limit its contribution to global warming over the next 15 years by implementing policies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars and light trucks. Carbon dioxide pollution from cars and light trucks in North Carolina could increase by 12 percent from 2005 to 2020 unless action is taken to reduce emissions. Putting the Brakes on Global Warming finds that by implementing the Clean Cars Program as soon as possible, North Carolina could reduce carbon dioxide pollution from cars and light trucks by 10 percent below the levels that would be achieved under the recently improved federal fuel economy standards by 2020.
