This I believe will be 'the' major issue for our sport in the next few years. With the economies in China and India growing at a phenomenal rate, many new power stations being built to serve their needs, the global warming situation will only get worse, especially as the USA administration is ignoring the problem. An item in the news this week gave us only a decade before the damage done by mankind is totally irreversible.
The FIA should be acting now. The non-car-interested general public will see motorsport as helping the decline and if this perception grows, what companies would want to be associated with and sponsor a sport that is seen to be not environmentally friendly? With F1 at the pinnacle and being the public's main perception of what motorsport is through most countries ( in China and India too), it should be seen to be taking action and put racing and all competiton cars on 'green' fuel ASAP. Only my opinion of course but the whole of our industry should have concerns.
