Disney Fake Lemming Deaths for Nature Documentary

https://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.aspWithin the Disney documentary "White Wilderness", a documentary made in 1958 that won an Academy award, you see Lemmings leaping off a cliff into the sea below and drowning, resulting in a mass suicide. However, This is not a behavior that lemmings do. During the filming of "White Wilderness", the portion of the film dedicated to the lemmings was staged since they were unable to capture the real live behaviors on film. This resulted in them filming the movie in the Canadian Provence of Alberta, a Provence that is completely land locked with no outlet to the sea. Alberta is not a natural habitat for lemmings, so they shipped in lemmings that were caught in other provinces and herded them over a cliff into the Bow River, not the ocean. Lemmings only drown by accident when they search for new resources, and since they are in unfamiliar territory, they often fall off cliffs or sometimes drown in water as they swim.

    What else do film makers fake in these nature documentaries? Why did Disney make a documentary, they have no credibility in that field.

    I completely agree with Kallie, and i had the same thought when I read this! I think it's different that Disney did this documentary, but they didn't do it the right way. They shouldn't have faked it let alone let all the lemmings die.

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
