What is the government doing to stop global warming?


The government is doing many things to be of assistance to stop global warming. The government made a Law called The Clean Air Act so there is less air pollution.  
Global warming is making people get very bad infection that could make them disabled, very sick, and sometimes even die.  The Clean Air Act is making many companies change their products to decrease these problems
Part of the law says that you may not put a certain amount of pollutants in the air.  Hairspray and other products like foam cups had this problem.  Making and using these products let out too many unstable organic compounds, ozone-destroying chemicals (CFC) and related chemicals such as CO2 into the air.  Now, almost all of these products have a label on them telling people what this product can do to the environment and many people
By 2015 All Products Listed On The Clean Air Act Will Have This Label On Them!
Almost all of the other chemicals that could be harmful will have this label on them hopefully by 2015 time as well.
The Clean Air Act has also made car companies change some of the things inside of the cars.  Cars pollute a lot.  While cars make more than half of the world’s pollution, many other things that cars need to move and heat up formulate more pollution.  Some things that are inside of cars, buses, trucks, and motorcycles, like gasoline, pollute the air when the fuel is burned.  It comes out as a chemical and when mixed in the air, forms pollution.  
Smog is a kind of pollution that you see in the form of a cloud.  If you have ever been to California you can see a lot of smog in some places.  Sometimes the smog gets so bad that you cannot see at all!  Smog forms when car exhaust, pollution from homes, and pollution from factories mixes in the air and has a chemical effect.  The sun’s heat and light add to the reaction. As smog is emission in Sri Lanka from vehicles to avoid this Drive Green is being introduced.
Cars, buses, and trucks are also responsible for over 50% of dangerous chemicals let into the air.  Some of these chemicals can cause cancer, birth defects, trouble breathing, brain and nerve damage, lung injures, and burning eyes.  Some of the pollutants are so harmful that they can even cause death.
