__Background__
Scientists have calculated that in less than 60 years that if we don't stop polluting the air now the south pole and north pole and Greenland will melt and raise sea levels by 20ft or more which will put many cities such as New York, Shanghai, London and many others on the coast or not, will be under water. Here are some articles on the subject.Click [|here] to read more about the effects of global warming and its consequences. China is the main cause of air pollution in the world as it is home to 16 of the 20 top polluted cities in the world. Because of coal as the major resource, the air has quickly been filled with toxic chemicals like sulfur. Also, the economy of China is growing so fast, it has greatly increased air pollution. Cancer becoming the leading cause of death in China has been the result of air pollution. Click [|here] to read an article of the New York Times as they describe China's big burden. Cars have also become a huge success in China and over 24 million cars are owned by Chinese people in China currently. Because of this, carbon emissions have rapidly increased and have already passed those of the US. The consequences are failed harvests, respiratory diseases and increased pollution control costs.

__Plans__
We plan to try to decrease if not stop global warming by the research and creation of a special filter to filter out pollutants to be embedded in cars. We hope to have most companies endorsing this production by our third year. We also hope to educate small communities and schools on the effects of global warming. We will start in china and if successful move on to other countries in Asia and then plan to eventually go global.
