Asian elephants may lose 42% of suitable habitat areas

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190228113615.htm

Scientists from Spain, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Italy and Germany have worked together to research how human pressures and climate change have affected the asian elephants. They created scenarios using climate and land data projections for 2050 and 2070. All scenarios suggest that climate change and land use will pose threats for these elephants. The scientists are going to continue their research to see how they can help the elephants.

I find this really sad. Climate change is affecting everything on out earth, and no one seems to want to do anything about it. If these elephants go extinct, I wonder what animal will be next and how long it will take for humans to realize what is going on.

    i, too, find this unfortunate. i wish that we did more to preserve animal species and their habitats. we're causing the next extinction, and we should try to minimize that damage as much as possible

    We should do more to help preserve animal species.

    I think this is really sad and it makes me wonder if anybody has any solutions to the climate change problem but just does not think it's that big of a problem.

    This is very disappointing and more efforts need to be made in order to help save the elephants.

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
