Worldwide Winds Increase


Since the year 2010, wind levels have been increasing. The average for global wind speeds has grown from 7 mph to 7.4 mph. This means that the potential wind energy rates for wind turbines has increased by about 17%! This is good news for wind power companies but has mainly negative origins. This increase of wind speeds is credited to global warming as well as natural climate cycles. The bigger difference in temperatures between different areas are causing bigger winds and climate cycles are shifting faster and faster. If our global warming is not slowed, wind rates will continue to rise quickly over the years. Wind farms will continue to make tons of money off of this situation.

This situation does not necessarily scare me a ton, but if wind rates get out of hand, they could have very negative effects on us and our environment. Global warming is causing so many types of problems that I have almost accepted that we are doomed as a species lol. Unless we are able to stop global warming as a whole, things are only going to get worse and worse. On the bright side, it may be a good time to invest in wind farms. Increase in wind will also give us an easy renewable source of energy that is good for the environment.

    I agree with you Mr. Crist. Wind farms have many advantages to out environment in terms of global warming. First, wind farms don't produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gases. Also wind energy does not pollute the air the power plants.

    It is very interesting how climate change is changing earth in so many ways. Most people just think of rising sea levels and warmer climates but there is actually a lot more going on.

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
