Coral Reef

A good portion of the Great Barrier Reef had already been destroyed in 2016. Following that, a bleaching event took place which is usually caused by stress, but in this case, caused by global warming. By the year 2016 to 2017, the bleaching had eventually killed half of the entire coral reef. This travesty affects many homes to marine life and if/when marine life dies out it affects the human population as well. I believe we need to get to the bottom of climate change as quickly as possible to save our planet and the organisms within it.

    I agree that climate change needs to be addressed very soon as the diminishing of coral reefs is proof that this issue is rapidly impacting our planet. RIP lil fishies, just know that I was routing for you

    Yeah, our coral reefs are very important, so we need to find a way to slow climate change or finding another way to protect them.

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
