Lessen Global Warming

There is this new scientific study that finds the worst of global warming. Global warming can still be prevented. It can be prevented by cutting the greenhouse gase uses. This is the way President Barack Obama and Europe want. A computer thing by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder looked at what would happen by the end of the century if greenhouse gas levels were cut by 70 percent. The result would be the world would still be a warmer world. It would be by about 2 degrees instead of 4 degrees. Arctic sea ice would shrink but not disappear. Sea level would rise less. About half the temperature increases. There are also changes in droughts and floods. They can be prevented to a scenario without cuts. This study will be published next week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. If there are future heat waves, it would be 55 percent less intense. The study is one of the first to use computer models to show how much of the effects global warming can be prevented. The study looked at what would happen with cuts in pollution. History has shown that reductions are much easier to talk about than to make. This is pretty much all I know and I thinks it's kind of interesting because global warming can lessen.
