Tidal Floods Driven By Climate Change May Hurt Small Businesses

https://www.sciencenews.org/article/tidal-floods-climate-change-hurt-small-businesses
Over the months and years, climate change is becoming more and more of a problem as it's recently been affecting the sea level which has caused an increase of tidal flooding along the United States coastline. With that being said, these floods that are now occurring are continuing to prevail from one every thousand years to once a week. However, new studies are coming up with the concept that car traffic patterns may help disclose the idea of a floods damage on an areas business revenue. But, tidal flood losses are expected to increase and the worry of cost for business revenues are anticipated to become more complex in the upcoming years.

Overall, I find floods kind of fascinating but it's still an issue especially since they are occurring every other week, if not more, so there's definitely some thought that needs to go into prevention or safer ways  to deal with them if possible.

    This will help us figure out new and improved ways to lay out cities where most of the flooding occurs.

    This is a great study because it will help us to adjust to our environment

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
