Greenhouse Gases More Dangerous Than Ever

Back in 2007 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency was to create a report on Greenhouse gases in the environment. The results were staggering, six greenhouse gases were found that are deemed dangerous to the environment. The Evidence that was found in the Environmental Protection Agency's report is now under public discussion. Some people say that this isn't too bad because it calls for the president’s plan of a green America. The six gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons,and sulfur hexafluoride. These gases have the potential to be very dangerous. The biggest impact the gases will have is the raised temperature. Some of the other impacts are possible droughts, flooding, a rise in sea level, more intense storms, and harm to water resources, people, and animals. People with weak immune systems (the very young, the old, and the sick) are at a raised risk. Multiple retired U.S. Generals have signed a pact saying these climate changes also pose a threat to national security. With hardship from droughts and other unfavorable conditions in some regions of the world, there will be mass migrations of people towards all ready high-populated places.

This will affect many people in many ways. As mentioned before, people caught in places of drought and famine will move to places of greater wealth. If I am in a place with greater resources when this happens then my life will be filled with people wherever I go. When this happens there are going to a lot of illegal immigrants and with more illegal immigrants there are going to be amendments added to the constitution regarding search warrants so the government can send the illegal immigrants back to their own country in a more efficient way. If I am stuck in a region with drought and a raised sea level I might have to move to another city, only to find there are no more homes left, I will then become homeless. Those are the consequences of greenhouse gases.
