How Global Warming could make nature less diverse



https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/climate/biodiversity-species-disappearing.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fclimate&action=click&contentCollection=climate&region=stream&module=stream_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=4&pgtype=sectionfront





If the planet warms by 3.2 degrees Celsius, or about 5.8 degrees Fahrenheit, then 49 percent of insects, 44 percent of plants and 26 percent of vertebrates will lose more than half of their geographic habitat. The species will have to move as the climate warms up and many will die off from this. 
This is interesting that global warming is affecting everything in the world from humans, to businesses to bugs.

    this is interesting, I had no idea that global warming has that big of an effect on the world.

    It is fascinating that such a small increase in global temperature can have such a big impact on our environment. 5.8 degrees Fahrenheit seems so small, yet can alter so much of our planet. Cool and scary.

    That seems like a large percent of living things for such a small number, interesting.

    It's crazy how much Earth's climate changes, before we know it this planet will be inhabitable because of all these issues.

    I hope I'm not in that 26% of vertebrates am I right

    Global warming is really going to do a number on us if we don't get our act together. If this is the possible result of global warming, and there is even the slightest chance of this happening, shouldn't we take steps to avoid it?

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
