expect that smoke? in certain areas for longer period of time there is some indication that that as global warming increases we could get more frequent occurrence of these air stagnation events doctor diffenbaugh says the solution is a different energy system and to reduce greenhouse gases fast reaching net zero is is really in terms of our greenhouse gas. emissions is really the only way stabilize the climate system in san francisco luz pena abc 7 news and on our abc 7 news streaming app. we have a complete collection of stories about our changing climate. you can download the app wherever you stream just search abc 7 news b
