Weather disasters to impact 2 out of 3 Europeans by 2100, study says

My first reaction came just by reading the title.  "Wow those numbers are off the charts."  Upon further investigation I found out that the study predicts 152,000 deaths a year between 2071 and 2100 due to weather related disasters as opposed to the 3000 per year between 1981 and 2010.  The article is very concerning and brings up the question, Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/08/04/weather-disasters-to-impact-2-out-of-3-europeans-by-2100-study-says/

    This is no doubt one of the stupidest articles I have ever read. First, where are the projections that show the increased temperatures methodically into 2100? If the scientists are indeed using climate projections that have been proven wrong and wrong again, then these claims that heat waves will continue to get worse should be reevaluated. Not to mention the current warm phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation is entering a cool phase which will no doubt impact global temperatures, including Europe, and likely drop those temperatures. There are too many variations in weather and climate to predict temperatures into 2100.

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
