Big or Small
Remember when the auto industry manufactured only "big" cars? Then, due to environmental and other pressures, they suggested "compact" cars touting the economics of owning such a car. About a decade (more or less) later, they recommended buying "SUV's" to use as a family vehicle. Now, with soaring fuel prices, the industry is again suggesting "smaller" or "hybrid" cars. Is it big or small - big or small - or is it a collusion between the car manufacturers and the oil companies to boost sales?

Collusion or not, these big, compact, family and sport utilities are huge contributors to global warming. So while we empty our wallets buying gas for our guzzlers great and small, we can also know that our short sightedness is part of an emergent global crisis.
