Global Warming taken for granted!

This article shows an exact reason as to some of the different effects of global warming. I enjoyed this article because it showed me something I never would have thought to have been an issue from the effect of global warming. I am sure there are many people who would have not even given a thought to airports as something that could be affected so much.

Take a look here!

    While I think it is good to look at the way that global warming is affecting airports, don't you think it is also important to highlight the fact that airplanes result in a huge release of CO2 emissions? One plane ride can equate to the same amount of CO2 emissions over the course of one year of driving. Right now, air pollution from airplanes is unregulated, because as it is not talked about it your article, most people don't realize that airplanes emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases. Today in the United States, the emission of greenhouse gases from airplanes is the largest unregulated form of air pollution. I think we need to look at air pollution from airplanes in a different light; instead of wondering why air pollution is affecting airplanes, we should be asking how much are airplanes affecting air pollution.

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
