the fossil fuel petroleum exhaust causes asthma and lung cancer in children and adults. SUVs and HUMvees emit a greater amount of CO, NOx, and other noxious fumes that form photochemical smog. Less trees from petroleum derived asphalt scabs covering Madre Tierra means less oxygen available when compared to increased CO, NOx present. Also the oxygen is combusted in the combustion of petroleum..

"CO reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen, and is particularly dangerous to smokers, persons with heart disease, and those with anemia or heart disease. CO can also cause permanent damage to the nervous system.

NOx exacerbate asthma, reduce lung function, and can lead to chronic lung damage. NOx also increases the susceptibility of young children and the elderly to respiratory infections.

NOx also reacts in the presence of VOCs and sunlight to form ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. Ozone irritates the eyes, damages the lungs, and aggravates respiratory problems. It is our most widespread and intractable urban air pollution problem. Ozone also reduces agricultural production and the growth rate of trees.

NOx contribute to the formation of acid rain. Acid rain acidifies the soils and waters where it falls, killing plants, fish, and the animals that depend on them. Acid rain also causes property damage through the corrosion of buildings and monuments.

NOx also contributes to nitrification (i.e., over-fertilization) of wetlands and bays, leading to algae blooms and fish kills. "

Bush and Schwartzenegger are pushing people further into war with the Muslim nations near Iraq, and additionally invading Haiti courtesy of CIA/FRAPH orchestrated coup. Venezualan petroleum reserves are no doubt on the mind of Bush/Cheney. Or is Occidental/Al Gore petroleum preparing for Kerry's Skull and Bones sanctioned victory?

More SUVs means more petroleum consumed, more Mal-Wart parking lots from petroleum residue, more profit for EXXON Mobil/Shell/Halliburton/Cheney/etc..

Less oxygen and more smog, though now oxygen is being sold 4 profit. If u live in a low income neighborhood, u most likely won't be getting any oxygen bars nearby. The oxygen bars are reserved for the wealthy who can afford fresh air. Since the Bush administration wants more SUVs on the road, then you'll just have to breathe more smog, and watch children get asthma/lung cancer. We need to restore healthy air 4 everyone by limiting petroleum caused photochemical smog that chokes the lungs of people living near traffic.

Oxygen is a human right that cannot be sold for profit. Open some green space and restore the LA trolleys for more oxygen air..

Ford and GM (the same who paved over the LA trolley tracks after WW2 so they could sell more cars) refuse to make fuel efficient vehicles like hybrids. The SUVs are burning petroleum at a higher rate so the Iraqi oil can be disappeared into the pockets of the oil barons like Bush/Cheney/Rockefeller/etc..
