Even on a cold and wet day, with the wind (at speed) blowing on the exhaust, it still manages to evaporate water to steam! Thats some waste of energy!! its an important point from a thermodynamics point of view: all that heat = waste that could have been turned into mechanical work in the engine… if only the engineers were good enough to utilize it – lol.

For god's sake!! If you can't grasp basic physics shut up! Radiant heat passes through space without molecules, as opposed to conduction or convection, as for the global warming issue, we can't even manage to predict the weather accurately over long periods since the variables are too great. Look up reductionism in your sociolgy books. Heat is radiant and rises???

It's as if you're thinking this heat will always be trapped in the earths' atmosphere and adding to the global temperature of the earth. Heat is radiant and rises, conducts through molecules whether solid, liquid or gas ( albeit at different rates ), just as heat from the sun is able to reach the earth. You have to remember the earth is part of the solar system and the solar system is part of the universe. . Isn't it a bit like asking "what affect does the temperature of Londons' traffic have on Plutos' global temperature" ?

That's because they don't even correlate and your also an idiot. “Much to my surprise, when I started looking for articles on the contribution of the heat generated by our cars to global warming I was unable to find a single one!”
