Title: Invasive Kudzu Is Major Factor in Surface Ozone Pollution, Study Shows

The Kudzu vine is found in Japan and Southeast China and has spread to the United States. This vine produces isoprene and nitric oxide, when this combines with nitrogen it causes a 50 percent increase the ozone level to be over the limit. It grows rapidly and causes erosion in the solid, through mild winters the vine has spread and is now growing and expanding on the East coast. Lerdau and his former graduate took fields studies in three states that are in Georgia to study the amount of gas produced by this vine. They joined two other men who are atmospheric scientists from Harvard University; they used atmospheric chemistry to see the effect the plant would have in 50 years. They exposed the effect of the vine; it will decrease agricultural production and increase health problems.

Title: Limiting Global Warming: Variety of Efforts Needed Ranging from 'Herculean' to the Readily Actionable, Scientists Say

Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and UC San Diego have uncovered three different ways to avoid climate change. This is very important because climate change will massively affect the world. Starting with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, this needs to be kept the same and at a very lower level. Also they want to establish laws that control the amount of aerosols that cool the atmosphere. Along with reducing aerosols reductions in methane, hydro fluorocarbons and other greenhouse gases are also needed. For this to be effective this need to all be done at the same time and very quickly. The areoles need to be reduced but not by too much because the loss of them will cause many other problems. These efforts are enabled so we do not reach the two degree threshold; if we do there is no turning back or saving it. Global warming will come into effect and the arctics will be sure to melt even more. The only way we will avoid this threshold is if we reduce all these greenhouse gases and CO2.

Title: Study Links 'Smog' To Arctic Warming

Recent studies show that in past 100 years the ozone in the lowest part of the atmosphere has a huge effect on the temperature changes. Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) computers show how much a single pollutant and or green house gases can impact global warming. Ozone has been a great contributor in the past years in the arctic; it travels from industrialized countries in the North, and travels to the arctic. Ozone in the stratosphere blocks ultra violet light from the Sun to protect the earth from these harmful rays. In the troposphere it is detrimental to humans and their health; it also contributes to global warming because it is a greenhouse gas. Ozone is had to study the effects that it has on the earth because it does not last long and does not spread. In the summer the ozone amount decreases in the arctic because chemical reactions from the suns light destroy it. Many people have become aware of this danger of global warming and will start to take action to lower the chances of global warming especially in the arctic regions.
