Hurricane Harvey: What Happened and What's Next?

Article Here

Because of the amount of flooding due to Hurricane Harvey many people are evacuating their homes. Officials and the Coast Guard have been helping people to safety, however, now that the worst of the storm has stopped, I think more people should be in Texas helping people and helping to restore the towns from the aftermath of the storm. I think it is a good thing that President Trump is in contact with the governor of Texas and that he is planning to travel there on Tuesday. After a disaster like this the people of the United States should come together to help restore the environment and help people whose homes were destroyed.

    I agree with you completely that everyone should help out since the worst of the storm is over and that hopefully president Donald Trump stays in contact with the governor of Texas to help him out.

    This is actually wrong because they were told to stay in their homes and why would they start evacuating after the worst of the storm is over!

    I completely agree with you that our country should come together during a natural disaster like this as it creates closer bonds. My biggest complaint is the lack of news media covering Hurricane Harvey before it made landfall. It seemed most news outlets were still too drawn into attacking Donald Trump than notifying the general public of this oncoming Hurricane. I also agree with you that it is a good thing that Trump is paying close attention to what is unfolding in Texas.

    This brings up a great discussion we will have some time about what is "newsworthy" and why.

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
