nature, habitat - solutions to global warming

Global warming has resulted in alot of losses throughout the World. Many people have realised the need to try to stop global warming from getting worse, thus, many people and governments are working hard to cut greenhouse gases.
Researchers Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow at Princeton University have suggested one approach that they call "stabilization wedges." This means reducing CFC emissions from a variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades, rather than relying on an enormous change in a single area.  They suggest 7 wedges that could each reduce emissions, and all of them together could hold emissions at approximately current levels for the next 50 years, putting us on a potential path to stabilize around 500 ppm.
