Green house gases proven harmful to Eco system, Scientists plans will take decades to stabilize emissions

Global warming has been a longtime concern of top scientists and political leaders. Recent research findings show that the global temperature has risen
by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit, and even higher around some of the more sensitive polar regions. The United Nations founded a organization of scientists
know as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or The IPCC. Every couple of years these scientists meet to review and summarize current
findings on the cause and effect of global warming. It has been found that humans emit most of the problem themselves through what is known as
Green House Gases, or GHG's. The gases are often emitted into the air through the burning of fossil fuels in cars, operations of factories, and through
electricity production. Other gases include, methane which is produced or comes from things such and garbage dumps, landfills, and even grazing cows.
Nitrous oxide often used as a anesthetic in doctor's offices as well as an oxidizer in motor racing is another known green house gas, as well as common gases
that are used for refrigeration and industrial processes. However it has also been found that the majority of global warming is caused by carbon dioxide.
With the loss of many natural gas regulating resources such as forests it is quite obvious and easy to see why the emission of these gasses has become
a global issue. Green House gases absorb and emit radiation causes temperatures to rise within the atmosphere, this results in more visible evidence of
global warming such as the melting of glaciers and sea ice. This effect it's self is a big problem to the world, not only do precipitation patterns shift and cause
already dry areas to become even more dry but it's also forces much of our wildlife to migrate to new terrain in which they may not be able to adapt
thus endangering a species. For example one scientist found that a breed of penguins in Antarctica has had a steady decline in the amount of breeding pairs
over the past 30 years by more than 20,000. If more specie's decline in population it is possible that the world may loose the majority of wildlife that it has
studied and learned from for years. Aside from the effects on wildlife, the rapidly rising sea level threatens to put small islands underwater in coming years,
meaning less land for people to live on and resulting in crowded areas of what is considered a safe zone. Other effects although not as constant as the previous
include the likely ness that hurricanes and other storms will become stronger. Some plants may begin to bloom before the insects who pollinate them become
active. Floods and droughts are likely to occur more often and be more intense, and some diseases carried by water breeding insects such as mosquito's
may become more widespread. The best solution offered to this problem comes from two Princeton University researchers, Steven Pacala and Robert Socolow.
The theory that they suggest includes what they refer to as "stabilization wedges", each wedge finding a way to use current technology or technology that will be
available within the next couple of decades. Such wedges include improvements to the way we use energy, suggesting that we become more efficient in it's use.
Also vehicle fuel economy, meaning the more mileage that we get per gallon the less carbon dioxide we will be emitting. Pacala and Socolow also suggest that a
solution lie within increasing the use of solar power, wind power, bio-fuels, and natural gas.
