Oil or no Oil?

For a long time mining in the high Arctic has been unheard of, because it is protected land. Recently their as been talk in the government that billions of dollars worth of oil could be found up there. With a government currently having more power to the republicans this find is huge. More than enough people are fighting it, trying to stress the large amount of damage this would to to the Arctic. The Arctic isn't the only concern, the impact could in general hurt everyone by increasing global temperatures from global warming, and then the ice caps melt. By the end the world is more or less under water and we become fish.

    How does this article show bias? The issue itself is definitely controversial, but please point out how the article is biased.

    We become fish?!? I prune easily.

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
