Yes, Climate Change Made Harvey and Irma Worse

Right from the title I could tell that this would be an opinionated article. The author goes into depth about how Harvey and Irma were NOT causes of climate change, but that the warmer waters and rising sea levels that trigger bigger and more destructive storms are the cause. Many scientists, more specifically meteorologists, are mentioned in this article to back up their opinions to get readers to agree. It uses information like "Over 90% of the researchers are in agreement with what is going on" to persuade us.

    I enjoyed this article, it was neat to read. I don't agree with it though, I think climate change does has an effect to causing Harvey and Irma.

    This article did incorporate the authors own bias which is evident by how strongly the author describes that climate change is not real or that it has not been affecting our environment.

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
