Alex November Current Event Cane toad

The Cane toad is a poisons invasive species that has invaded Australia. They have invaded the Kimberly Plateau which they are moving quickly through it. Scientist believe that they move kilometer every night during the wet season. The toads are adopting in shape and physiology. Sugar cane plants from Puerto Rico brought the cane toad to Australia. The toads need to be stopped and soon. They are covering the rain forest at a fast rate and if we don't do anything it'll be late to stop them.

    I did the same topic and I agree with you the Australian scientists are not doing enough to stop these pests they need to look at a different angle and think outside the box the only problem is they must be careful for these cane toads are lethal so do not kiss them they will not turn into your Prince or Princess rather a grave plot :D

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
