A Warming Arctic Could Cost the World Trillions of Dollars Thanks to Permafrost and Ice Melt Feedback Loops

Climate Change is happening quickly, and the price we are paying is rising higher and higher we speak. When looking at the overall cost of climate change, the melting Arctic is going to add about seventy trillion dollars to climate change, unless we reduce the emissions we create on the Earth. This creates many issues to humans and the environment.

This article makes me sad. People need to enjoy the Earth and help it instead of taking it for granted.

    The title itself is alarming, trillions of dollars?! We should be taught more about climate change and the effects of it so we can try to reduce/prevent 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
