“The good news is we know what to do. The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed, and as they become available and become more affordable when produced in scale, they will make it easier to respond. But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.”
—Al Gore

Notes:

(1) Results obtained via two functional test performed by independent third part lab Ecotech Laboratories of Libramiento Emillio Portes Gil #2021 entre Loma Bonita y Gema Col. La Joya, H. Matamoros, Tam., Mexico, and ABC laboratories of Jacarndas No. 15. San Clemente, Alvaro Obregon, Mexico, D.F. 01740, on May 10, 2005 and May 25, 2005 respectively.

(2) Per Title 40 of the US Code of Federal Regulations Part 60 Subpart AAAA. The comparisons of the trial results from Mexico with subpart AAAA is based on the fact that both sets of results are calculated using 7% Oxygen and extremely similar test methods.
