Greenland's ice sheets hold clues to global sea-level rise

In Greenland, Ice sheets melt during the summer and cause problems in the area. But these events could beginning to change the sea levels across the world. Which could effect coastal communities across Earth, possibly leaving islands underwater. This years summer melt wasn't as bad as 2012's 97% melt which destroyed a local bridge in Greenland. But researchers are digging deeper into to see how fast these sheets disappear.

Greenland has been in a lot of trouble lately with the rising temperatures and climate change, and this is nothing different. This rising issue could effect every. Could put islands and coastal areas under water, changing landscapes for ever. Scary what is and could happen if things don't change.

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
