Antarctic ice shelf gets its annual snowfall for a year in ten days

With climate change being a huge issue in today's world this minor snowfall could tell us what the future holds and what is it to come. With some big snow storms happening in Antarctica can help the thickness of the ice sheets under the iceberg and might cause it to shrink over time. With floating ice shelves needing a lot of snow for them to stay a float the amount of snow around it could vary and could leave snow ice shelves there and other gone. With all of this snow happening in just a few days this can show us that snow in the next couple of months can go down dramatically.


My reaction to this is the climate for the future is getting harder to predict every year and can change at any moment.

    This is a huge problem and should be taken more serious.

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
