Paris Climate Agreement

Although the Donald Trump administration has stated their plans to remove the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, 20 States, 110 cites, and 1,400 businesses have agreed to cut their fossil fuel usage in order to met the agreement the United States made. The United States has also stated they are trying to help poorer countries have reliable access to coal and fossil fuels, however, many environmentalists disagree with this movement because it could negatively affect the the environment even more with more people burning coal and fuels. Almost half of all American coal mines have been shut down in the past six years. I think that it is very important that the states, cities, and businesses are continuing to fight climate change even though the government is denying all climate issues. The United States has a lot of power when it comes to change because of our large and developed population. We could do a lot of extra damage to the planet by pulling out of this Paris Climate Agreement and I think it is very important that we keep our pollution to a minimum.

    This is a very serious issue and could really effect the environment in a terrible way. I think something should be done about this that would effect the environment in a good way.

    As can be read this is an important issue that needs to be taken into consideration. More people should look into this and find out what is actually the correct thing to do.

    I think this is a very serious issue, as it has the potential to effect not only OUR environment, but MANY other countries and different types of habitats. I think it was very wrong to pull out of the Paris agreement, as the agreement itself regulates business' use of fossil fuels and regulates the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the environment. Nothing will get done to help the environment if the US pulls regulations on use of fossil fuels and the output of greenhouse gases.

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
