Best Answer

Hybrid cars usually have two engines, an electric one and a gasoline one. The electric motor runs from batteries which are charged from the mains electricity, or from the gasoline engine while it is running.

If the electricity comes from a renewable source, like solar, hydro or wind power, then the car is saving carbon emissions (It is not causing any release of carbon dioxide into the greenhous atmosphere.).

When hybrid cars (any cars for that matter) are manufacted, the process involves a lot of carbon emissions, from the steel, aluminum or plastic used, to the electricity involved in production etc.

So hybrid cars don't do a lot to fix global warming. They make people feel good, and they do a little to help.

A much better solution would be to walk, ride a bicycle or use public transport!

A:The hybrid car cuts down on Carbon Dioxide released by the burning of petrol and petrol products (gasoline). They are designed to slow down the build up of greenhouse gases causing global warming.
A:They use less gas and go more miles and also because they don't release as much greenhouse gases as normal cars do.

What will happen if we don't have cars?

well all be miserable and walking although it would help the atmosphere from global warming??


Do hybrid cars help with global warming?

yes as long as you travel slow enough to only operate your electric motor. if you drive fast all the time you will run on your fossil fueled engine and there for you might as well own a normal vehicle.


Will reducing the number of cars on the road help the environment?

Yes. The greenhouse gases produced by the factories enables global warming to occur


Does global warming help anything?

No -.-

Would the end of global warming help or hurt the ozone?

The end of global warming would help the ozone. It is because the depletion of ozone is directly related to the global warming caused by greenhouse gases.


Does recyling stop global warming?

No, it won't stop global warming. It will help a little bit, and it will help a lot if everyone in the world does it. To stop global warming we have to stop burning fossil fuel. We have to stop cutting down forests. We have to plant a lot more trees. If we stop burning fossil fuel then we won't have any electricity or transport. This is why we are looking for better ways of making electricity and driving cars.


How could you help global warming?

US get better tec. plant a tree better cars dont drive as much decrease air travel


What are other efforts to help prevent global warming?

You can use electric and solar powered cars instead of gasoline cars;but if you do use a gasoline car, carpool often to use less gas.
