Hybrid Cars You Can Buy Now—Help Stop Global Warming
Fuel emissions from cars and other forms of transportation contribute about 40% of climate-changing emissions. Hybrid cars help reduce fuel emissions because the hybrid engine gets power from the battery instead of gasoline when the car accelerates. When the car is stopped, the hybrid gasoline motor shuts off and the car runs on electricity. Here is a list of hybrid cars that are available now:
Ford Escape SUV (The Ford Escape Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient SUV on the road.)
Toyota Highlander SUV
Toyota Camry
Toyota Tundra
Honda Civic
Honda Accord
Chevrolet Silverado
Lexus RX
Mercury Mariner
Infiniti M
Global Warming is Affecting Our Climate
(Please see the Matthew’s Newspaper Weather Forecast)
Global warming is causing a lot of changes in our climate. We are having more record-breaking temperatures, more floods, stronger hurricanes, and more droughts. With the warmer weather comes:
more mosquitoes, poison ivy, and ragweed
glaciers melting faster
more droughts and crop failure.
One thing we can do now to reduce carbon emissions is buy hybrid cars. We can also use our heaters and air conditioners less, insulate our houses better, and use ultra-efficient light bulbs. Another idea is to ask our government officials to buy climate-friendly cars and products. Here is a website that has more ideas on how to affect climate change: www.parade.com.

Be Prepared! What to Do if Your Car Goes into the Water
This will probably never happen to you, but if it does, you should be prepared. If your car goes into the water (a lake, a bay, or any body of water) and starts to sink, here’s what you should do:
Leave the keys in the ignition. The battery will still work under water, and power windows will still work.
Take your seat belt off.
Unlock the door.
Roll down the window. If the window is stuck, use a “Power Punch” tool to break through the glass.
Start climbing out. Sit on the window and push off.

Then, Ray Durham came back in the bottom of the 9th with a 3-run homer to win the game 8-7. In Sunday’s game, the Giants lost to the A’s by a score of 10-4. Their record is 37-38 as they head into a 3-game series at home against the Texas Rangers.
