Freakishly Warm Weather in the Arctic Has Climate Scientists 'Stunned'

In the Arctic areas, it is usually very cold and persistently cold. Recently, however, that has not been the case. There have been immense spikes of warmth, now being well over freeing for an extended period of time. Usually, this would go away but it was already 2 days since the weather spike and it doesn't seem to be going down. Scientists are frazzled at the immense weather difference and they don't even know how to describe the phenomenon. 

So, what does this mean in my opinion? I think that what is going on is crazy and could be because of global warming. However, I do think it is a shame to see this because the once constant ice is deteriorating. I think while this is a bad thing, maybe it could be good. Sometimes, ecosystems need to change in order to evolve. This could possibly be the change that the world needs to see. Either way, I think this is great for scientific research and knowledge as to the debate of whether global warming is real or not. Either way, the ice is disappearing and something has to change.

    I think its crazy how warm it is in the Arctic, but I think your opinion of how it could be a good thing is interesting because usually it is looked at as bad.

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
