Current Event: How Lake Trout React to Climate Change

The article talks about how Lake Trout are now changing their habits and behaviors during warmer times in the year. In northwestern Ontario, an 11 year long study was completed in order to observe the fish and how they react. I found this very interesting that not only they did the experiment for over a decade, but I think that it is good that the scientists are trying to see and prove that climate change is bad and can affect many different populations.

    I agree with Sammi, climate change is bad and can affect many populations around the world. This is a huge problem especially recently around the world that needs to be adressed more agressivly than what it is right now. This study was completed over 11 years meaning the problem has just increased even more over the past decade.

      I agree, the topic of climate change needs to be focused on even more and people need to take it more seriously.

    I completely agree with you. Some people still believe that climate change is not real when there is so much evidence to prove that it is! This study is a perfect example of evidence that it is, in fact, happening. As the article says, the temperature change could affect future lake trout populations, which can also effect many other environmental factors.

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
