India's Ominous Future: Too Little Water or Far Too Much

It is the monsoon season in India, but climate change is making these seasonal rains more intense and more unpredictable. Recent government policies have left millions of Indian people defenseless against climate change, especially the poor. The rains in India are so erratic that they never know when they will come and how long they will stay, so often the Indian people are unprepared for the floods. This year 1,600 people were killed in India because of the extreme monsoons and flooding. This is a big problem because the people in India are paying for the effects of climate change. These strange weather patterns create short periods of extreme rain and long periods of drought. This is what creates poverty, because every thing is destroyed in the flooding and then in the drought the people cannot make any prophet because they cannot grow or produce anything. India is already a very poor country and after the damage caused by these storms, many people are left with nothing. This is important because the effects of climate change have already begun to affect India and there is no telling when it will effect other nations. If actions are not taken to reverse these effects many nations around the world could soon be under water.

    I agree that this is a major issue because if extreme weather is effecting one country, it will eventually continue to grow and other countries will go through the same issues. This will destroy the trading with other countries because if a country can not grow it's food needed to be traded, how is that country going to make enough money to support it's economy.

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
