Climate Change May Shrink the World's Fish

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/08/climate-change-study-ocean-fish-size/   

This article talks about how fish are shrinking from small to large fish due to warming temperatures and loss of oxygen.

I find this article to be really interesting especially because it effects all fish. The article mentioned that soon fish trying to breathe would be like us trying to breathe through a straw. I wonder if the fish keep shrinking that in the future if there will even be fish. Then we could see a shark that was only 1 foot in size. I also was thinking for people that fish if this would effect their sport at well. And when people catch fish are they safe to eat anymore? This might effect the health of the fish and they might become more dangerous to eat. So I really like this article and want to learn more about this subject of fish shrinking.

    I do think that the fish will die due to high temperature and the loss of oxygen

    So how else do you think we could help these fish because many people don't seem to believe climate control is real. What would you do to help with the issue?

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
