The number of automobiles on Canada's roadways has more than doubled over the past 20 years. A single bus can take 40 to 50 cars off the road. A 1985 nitrogen oxide emissions study by Environment Canada reported that there were some 1.9 million tons produced annually in Canada. Some 912,000 tons were produced by automobiles, and that's only one part of the range of automotive emissions contributing to global warming. Multiply the emissions by each of the over 12 million cars in Canada, and you begin to grasp the magnitude of the problem.
