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
I think that this article and the trial itself are indeed good for not only our country's government but the world's ecosystem too. If the kids do win the trial, the government (and trump) will be disrupted into having to participate by helping save our ecosystem and deal with the problem of climate change. It will also be helpful on quite a larger scale considering that if a first world country like the USA were to start paying more attention to our environmental issues and help to retain a healthy ecosystem, the world would be much better off.
