Rising Sea Levels Put More in Danger Than Previously Believed

Climate change is affecting our planet in multiple ways, and one of the most severe affects is the melting of our Polar Ice Caps. As these caps melt away, global sea levels are expected to rise drastically. It was previously thought that the sea levels would only rise to affect some 80 million people worldwide; that number has now more than tripled as it is now expected to force approximately 300 million to relocate. These new sea levels are predicted to primarily affect Asian Nations like Japan, China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, however the affects will be felt worldwide.

Rising Sea Levels

I believe this is very concerning. With the global population growing at the rate it is, smaller landmass is not going to help with our overpopulation issues. World Leaders need to begin taking global warming and its affects on humanity more seriously, otherwise they are dooming the future of humanity.

    This topic seems to be very popular lately and I feel like we all are kind of just starting to realize the effects and damage this is already causing, let alone what the future will hold if we dont change this now, it wont happen over night but if we start by doing the little things it will eventually work.

    This is a very interesting article but a great example of why we need to develop new technology to combat climate change. If we keep continuing on the path we are on greater issues will arise and cause major problems.

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
