The recently Fifth Assessment published by the Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2014" ] ] }, "title" : "Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers", "type" : "report" }, "suppress-author" : 1, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=43df81de-5151-4485-8c38-2d9bc8b9f1b6" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(2014)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(2014)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(2014)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(2014) has been unequivocal: human activity resulting to the release of greenhouse gases has caused climate change, which in turn is now causing changing changes in human and natural systems. "The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2014" ] ] }, "title" : "Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers", "type" : "report" }, "locator" : "2", "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=43df81de-5151-4485-8c38-2d9bc8b9f1b6" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014, p. 2)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014, p. 2)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014, p. 2)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014, p. 2), and we cannot continue to do business as usual. Drastic changes have to be made, and they have to be made immediately.
In light of climate change, various companies are now realizing the need for developing clean technology. For example, in 2012, Ford Motors released a hybrid model, designed to cut fuel consumption and emission by as much as 3.5% ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Richard", "given" : "Michael Graham", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Tree Hugger", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2012", "1", "9" ] ] }, "title" : "Ford Unveils New 2013 Fusion Hybrid (lithium-ion, 47 MPG) and Plug-In Fusion Energi (100+ MPGe)", "type" :...
