Consider the following Greenhouse Gases (GHG's): Sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, and trifluoromethane (a hydrofluorocarbon). Using the concepts of asymmetrical stretching and infrared absorption, rank the gases from weakest to strongest greenhouse gas, and explain your ranking that CH4 is a stronger GHG than CO2).

Which statement best describes the potential reason for the change in both the long-eared owl and short-eared owl populations? Urban development has caused an increase in light pollution, which has caused a change in the hunt time of the owls and their ability to obtain food. Therefore, there is a decrease in the overall population. Urban development has caused an increase in light pollution, which has caused a change in the hunt time of the owls and their ability to obtain food. Therefore, there is stabilization in the overall population.
