There are always new discoveries in the world of Biology. This field is literally an ongoing odessy of discovery. One issue that is scrutinzed regularly is global warming. Arizona State University has recently created a model that can estimate greenhouse gas emissions on a specific level. This new model, named Hestia, is able to estimate greenhouse gas emissions coming from a street or even a single building. This is revolutionary because until now greenhouse gases emission have been reported on a broad level. This model is simple enough for authorities to use and the public to understand. It is now easier for groups to assume responsibility and take action to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

This model has been applied to Indianapolis, IN and will soon be implemented in Los Angeles and Pheonix. The developers of Hestia hope to have it in major cities all over the US. This model will not only help keep emissions under control but also provides evidence in favor of global warming. It's hard to argue with the data presented by this model. Not only could this change the outlook on this topic in the US but it can also influence other nations to clean up their act. Hopefully we can see a reduction in GHG emissions soon!
