Arctic Islands Appear As Glaciers Melt// August

   


        In 2016, the Russian military conducted a search of the Arctic off the coast of Moscow. They found five island that appeared due to glacier melting. They recently released the news of the islands, after conducting research about them and realizing that the glaciers melted due to global warming because the Earth's average temperatures are rising with time.

        While the discovery of new islands is exciting and new, it is not worth the damage the climate change is inflicting on our environment. If humans do not reduce their greenhouse gas production, the entire arctic ecosystem will fail to exist. Also, the rising oceans, temperatures, and lower oxygen levels are truly something that the entire world should be concerned about. More people need to realize that climate change doesn't just effect the oceans and arctic alone, but our entire world and the air we breath.

    This is a very interesting topic to think about and one that I'm sure many do not consider. Most people would be excited to think about the new islands forming and getting to explore them. However, they do not realize that once sea levels begin to rise the water will overcome the islands making them no longer accessible. Many Americans like to believe that they are not the cause of the ecosystems harm. Eventually the harming of our ecosystem will no longer be fixable.

    I find this very intriguing because people do not realize how much damage they are doing to the environment. The population is too focused on exploring these new islands that they do not stop to think about how this is affecting the way we live. We should focus more on saving the environment and prevented ocean levels to rise even if that means losing the chance to explore new islands, because the environment is what is keeping us alive. We only have one ecosystem and we can not afford to cause great damage.

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
