Along the Coast wetlands act like a buffer against storms when they are filled in for housing Hurricane Katrina happens. Wetland also act as filters for our water. That water then goes underground for when people need it, if people fill in these wetlands it cuts our underground water tables down. And this cannot be fixed soon because This water stays down there for nearly 10,000 years so we are cutting future generations water supplies terribly talk about burning your candle at both ends!

Humans are releasing roughly the same amount of greenhouse gases every two days as when Mount St.Helens erupted!

Global Warming is causing shifts i species and in habitats and migrations that range 6.1km per decade "ten years" Toward the poles. And spring is arriving 2.3 days earlier every 10 years. Doesn't seem like much till you add up how many years people have used greenhouse gases.

To much CO2 absorbed by the ocean will acidify it and cause the death of all shelled creatures.

Vehicles put out 40% of the CO2 while factories and electric company's generate 50%.

Green house gases include:
water vapor
carbon dioxide
methane
nitrous oxide
halogenated florocarbons
ozone
perflorinated carbons
and hydroflorocarbons.


Greenhouse gases are long lasting if everyone stopped today the effects wouldnt stop for 150 years.
