Record Breaking Temperatures

One month into 2019, meteorologists are very concerned with the extremes of weather. In U.S this week, temps have dropped to the -20s and has killed 16 people and delayed 2,300 flights. People in major cities such as Chicago and Minneapolis were advised to stay indoors. On the other side of the world, Australia is experiencing record high January temps that are causing wildfires. Could this all be because of climate change?

    This is interesting because people will still say the climate change is fake while we have evidence right here showing over the past years that these temperate should not be happening at this time

    This is very scary to think about. Hopefully we can learn from this and people can acknowledge that climate change is a real problem that needs to be dealt with.

    This is very concerning to think about seeing how this will effect the future temperature.

    I think that we should be more concerned with climate change because if we aren't then we could miss something important and it could potentially lead to the demise of the human race years down the road.

    It was getting pretty cold, we should really take this as a sign to make changes now before its too late.

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
