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

In the past couple years, researchers and scientists have seen the Arctic winter become warmer. In fact, like said in the article, some places in Greenland were in the low 40s for more than a day. it is explained that these temperatures are occurring because of the jet stream currents. Scientists said in the article that they are concerned the warmer temperatures will become more frequent.

    What caused it? does it have any relation to warmer temps globally? I wonder how this will effect marine life, We know fish are very sensitive to water temperature changes. What about whales and penguins? there are other posts about penguins.. I wonder how closely related the two are.

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
