Climate Change Wiped out Marsupial Lion

This is an interesting post because it shows that animals who aren't directly being affected by something will still face some sort of consequences. In this case the lions were in Australia and hunting prey that was going extinct due to climate change, leading to the death of all the Marsupial lions because they ran out of food.
I thought this was really cool because it shows that there is always more to something than you think just like the tip of an iceberg.

    This is interesting to think about how big something could impact everything. And no one thinks about how it will impact the rest of the environment.

    it is a real shame that we never seem to take care of a problem before its way too late. I can only imagine how poorly we'll handle the situation when it is our heads on the chopping block.

    This is sad to think about because what did the animals do to deserve this. I think humans need to think about animals when making decisions as well

    Maybe the lions should've hunted a different prey before they died

    That lion has got some BIG MEATY CLAWS. Also, if it seems climate change was the cause for the Thylacoleo, then that means it has happened before and caused mass extinctions. So then why are there people who believe it isn't happening and can't happen again if it already has?

    It's hard to believe that something like climate change can really affect a species of animals. It is amazing to think that because of our actions on climate change, we lose animals on this planet. It goes to show that something needs to be done about climate change.

    I used to only think of ice bergs melting in the North Pole when I heard climate change, but this post just completely blew my mind. I didn't realize that ice bergs in Australia would case such an extinction like this one.

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
