Green, Religious Shareholders Ask GM, Ford To Cut Emissions

Credit Pacific Service Union A religious-environmental coalition filed shareholder resolutions asking the world's two largest automakers to cut the global-warming emissions spewed by their vehicles and factories.

Each country has targets to reach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions including 8% for European Union, 7% for U.S., and 6% for Japan. The agreement provides incentives for cutting pollution through a system of emissions trading. A country that emits less than its quota of greenhouse gases can sell emission credits to polluting nations. In addition, a country may receive credits through shared clean energy programs and carbon dioxide "sinks" in the form of forest or other ecosystems that remove carbon dioxide from the air.

Credit First Service Union The identical global-warming resolutions are the first filed at General Motors and Ford Motor Company since the late 1990s, when the two automakers calmed environmentalists by pulling out of an industry group fighting greenhouse-gas reduction measures.

This year's contract talks are considered crucial to the survival of GM and its U.S.-based counterparts, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC. Ford and Chrysler were also in talks over the weekend, but they extended their contracts with the UAW indefinitely Thursday after the UAW named GM the lead company in the negotiations. Once the union wraps up talks with GM it will try to implement similar agreements at Ford and Chrysler.

Credit Report Service The group says the carbon emissions attributable to GM grew 13 percent from 1990 to 2000, while Ford carbon emissions grew 26 percent over the same decade.

Christian Counseling Credit Japanese automakers already sell efficient, low-emission hybrid gas-electric vehicles in the US market and promise more. GM and Ford are more focused on developing electric fuel-cell powered vehicles sometime in the next 20 years.
