Oceans are losing power to stop climate change

The oceans have long helped to stave off climate change by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The rate at which oceans are warming has doubled since the early 1990's and marine heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense. As the oceans absorb CO2, they are becoming more acidic and threatening the survival of coral reef and fisheries. The report projects that sea levels could rise up by 1.1 meters by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise.

    I think that if we were to come together as a nation and work with other countries, that maybe would could work on taking back our mistakes, and decrease the damage that we have caused to the Earth. The fact the largest bodies of water on the Earth are starting to fail at their duties, is very concerning.

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
