There's so Much Methane in this Artic Lake you can Light the Air on Fire

The Artic Lake is currently releasing so much methane gas that it produces bubbles and if you touch it with a match, the water catches on fire. If you touch it, you boil. This is due to the rising global temperatures. It is causing holes to burn in the lake. The deepest part with the largest burning hole is 50 ft while the rest of the lake is only 3 ft. This is very dangerous to scientists who test it and to those who study it. There's nothing we can do about it, its just the natural environment. I fond this very interesting because I didn't even know this was possible.

    This is very interesting. I had not known that either. Its really cool and unique though.

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
