Hello lads and gents. This week I am on time and this is a special week. It is a special week because this week, you guys, my fans, are getting two blogs instead of one. One reason, I am doing this is because of the extra credit for having ten blogs for the course and, secondly, I need that extra credit because I have failed two of the three quizzes we have taken. Well, enough of that and on to the blog. For this blog, I  am going to ramble on threats to biodiversity in Kentucky. Habitat loss is one of the largest threats to biodiversity. Invasive species and global warming are factors that effect habitat loss. Both are really important and global warming may be the only factor that we may be able to monitor. Invasive species became a factor when the Europeans came over from Europe. But global warming is a factor that can be controlled and monitored because we actually have the opportunity to change it. Greenhouse gases are one of the main sources of global warming. They work by trapping heat in the atmosphere and over time, the air thickens and the climate becomes warmer. The climate change produced from greenhouse gases is not entirely significant but as the concentration of greenhouse gases increases in the atmosphere the more severe the climate may change. Also, there are different greenhouse gases and each may stay in the atmosphere longer or may be stronger in thickening the air. Each of the gases has an effect and the only way to resolve their effect is to reduce their emission. Some possible ways to reduce greenhouses gases are wind and solar polar. Basically, in order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases we must improve our energy usage and production in all ways. Wind and solar polar are only some examples of ways to reduce emissions and natural gas and nuclear power are other examples. I will not get into that stuff because I do not want to bore you guys with advanced reactor technologies and higher level science stuff so take care! Hope you enjoyed the blog and I will probably post the second blog on Thursday or Friday and check out the picture of gas emissions.
