A recent U.N. report predicted that without a true global cooperation and bolder plans, the planet will warm up by 2.7°C (4.9°F) by the end of the century. Many countries have been announcing more aggressive climate targets, but without true commitment and action from large economies (such as China, U.S.A., and India), the planet’s prospects are not optimistic.  

Climate change is not only caused by internal combustion engines. According to the International Energy Agency, electric motors and systems in machines and appliances account for over 40% of global electricity consumption. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) fall into that category and are used in huge numbers in buildings around the world.
