CRITICAL ISSUES RAISED DUE TO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF

VEHICLES USED WORLDWIDE

Air Pollution that leads to global warming
More vehicles means more releases of carbon monoxide and carbon
dioxide to the surrounding atmosphere that causes greenhouse effects.
Carbon dioxide (C02) is a major constituent of the environment. It is causing
a warming effect on the earths surface area. Greenhouse efeects itself means
the increases volume of hazardous gases in the earth and eventually
contribute to increasing temperature. This phenomenon will caused melting
of the ice in north pole and thinning of ozone layer that we usually called
global warming.
Over the last century, global average temperature has increased by more
than 1F (0.7C). The 2001-2010 decade is the warmest since 1880the
earliest year for which comprehensive global temperature records were
available. In fact, nine of the warmest years on record have occurred in just
the last 10 years. This warming has been accompanied by a decrease in very
cold days and nights and an increase in extremely hot days and warm nights.
Of course, land and ocean temperature is only one way to measure the
effects of climate change. A warming world also has the potential to change
rainfall and snow patterns, increase droughts and severe storms, reduce lake
ice cover, melt glaciers, increase sea levels, and change plant and animal
behavior.
Depletion of natural gas and petroleum
Increasing consumption of natural gas and petroleum, decrease in volume
and sources of it. The global oil will not sustain on overpopulated planet that
caused the increasing number oil consumption. Years by years, the sources
will become lesser and at one point will deplete from the surface of the
earth. What happens after depletion of oil? The worst-case oil crash
predictions involve soaring gas prices, the end of globalization, widespread
anarchy and the relentless exploitation of previously protected drilling sites.
Trafic congestion

More vehicles on the roads, means more traffic congestions. Traffic

congestion is when vehicles travel at slower speeds because there are more
vehicles than the road can handle. This makes trip times longer, and

increases queueing. This is also known as a traffic jam. Everyone has their
own vehicles, everyone drive their own car. This is a bad start that will
caused air pollution and the worst is global warming.
