Cheap Chemical that can Slow Climate Change??

https://www.livescience.com/64183-solar-dimming-air-spray-climate-change-cost.html

Recently scientists have discovered that releasing a cheap chemical into the air, can help slow down climate change. This chemical is not a permanent fix, but its definitely a step towards improvement for climate change. This chemical is called sulfur dioxide (SO2). It's inexpensive so "a single, determined country could pull it off." I think we should give it a shot, we need to make some sort of progress to solve climate change. Even though this is not a permanent solution, we can use the extra time to our advantage and look into other solutions before things get to the point where we can't do anymore and the damage is finished.

    It's good to know that we are finally taking action on global warming with something so simple. As global warming is becoming more of a problem in different ways, I feel as though we need to put more effort into finding ways to prevent it or change it around for the better.

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
