Climate scientists refute 12-year deadline to curb global warming

Less than a decade after the Mayan calendar scare, modern doomsday threats come in the form of climate change time tables. Most recently, freshmen Representative Ocasio-Cortez stated that the world would end in 12 years due to carbon emissions. The statement was said among her push to popularize the New Green Deal legislation. This legislation puts forth radical measures to cut down carbon emissions, at the cost of trillions of dollars. According to the article, the deadline given is inaccurate and the 'climate change' is more of a slope than a cliff to fall off.

I find articles like this nice to hear because the media will tell us that plans like these are perfect because, surprise, the world is coming to an end in 12 years. This actually gives an objective factual view with information from people who know what they are talking about, not an ill-informed congresswoman. I would hope this would be an eye opener for the world, but i know that news sites where facts are presented are heavily outweighed by biased media which makes it all the more difficult for rational decisions to be made. Presumably unbeknownst to most people, the congresswoman's spokesman said that the phraseology, is minute and that was have climate problems already. Well considering we are talking about the 'end of the world', phraseology should be pretty important.

    This is interesting point of view. Does this mean that as time goes on we will notice a slow change of the world with climate change instead of it all happening at once?

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
