Climate change caused by humans is still a widely debated topic. Studies produce conflict data and predictions about changing global weather patterns. Some scientists argue that the Earth’s climate fluctuates naturally with time and that humans are not the cause of any detected changes in weather trends. Almost all scientists can agree that something about the Earth’s climate is changing. Polar ice caps are slowly melting. It is suspected by some that the main culprit climate change caused by humans is greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide are believed to trap heat in the Earths atmosphere, which is steadily increasing the temperature of the planet.

In order to reduce the amount of green house gasses that human beings create from daily life many people have decided to convert their automobile over to running on an Alternative Source of Fuel Automobiles are one of the largest sources of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Propane fuel conversion kits are becoming increasingly popular. Running an automobile on propane produces less greenhouse gases than an automobile that uses gasoline. Installing a propane dual fuel conversion kit can also increase overall gas mileage and reduce the cost of your fuel. Installing a LPG conversion kit in your automobile can cost between a thousand and five thousand dollars.

There are other kinds of Alternative Fuel Vehicles that do not have the same advantages as a vehicle running on propane. Electric cars do not have the same gas mileage advantages as a car that runs on a liquid fuel, but they do reduce greenhouse emissions. Ethanol is another alternative fuel that is becoming more popular. Brazil has more automobiles that run on ethanol than on standard gasoline. Another advantage to using alternative fuel vehicles is reducing dependency on foreign oil. Some people feel that reducing dependency on foreign oil will help strengthen domestic economies.
