See HIGHLIGHT Health for an excellent discussion of the increased health risks associated with bioethanol as automobile fuel. Walter at HIGHLIGHT Health gives references to several articles and discusses both a predictive model for future air quality and the actual air quality in Brazil, where cars running on 100% ethanol have been around for some time.

On a different note, I found this article http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?p=3225220 listing the greenest cities in the US. This shows that municipalities care about climate change. I guess the general population cares about the environment and global warming. My score on their calculator was 400 but at least I am trying. Here is the link to the website that published the list of cites and where the carbon calculator can be found: http://www.earthlab.com. The test took me like 5 minutes tops, and then maybe another 2 minutes to find the pledges I wanted. Pretty cool application.
