Catastrophic Australian Brush fires derail research

As of January 15 brush fires in certain parts of southern Australian have started to subside and biologist have begun being escorted back into the area. The scientist aimed to save a fish from extinction in the case the fires continue pass the point of redemption. 142 fish were saved from the wild for captivity breeding but it now seems they are extinct form the wild. The fires have caused this type of damage to millions of animals as it currently stands and as this continues scientific research is being set back immensely with such serve damages to the ecosystem and the animals that live there. The fires have set back research on living patterns, ecological damage, plant life, and many other types of biological research that were once abundant in Australia due to its environment and large ecosystem of creatures.

The damage done to Australia is extremely surprising. With current standings if something is not done the damage may be irreversible. I believe that while the fires cannot be fully extinguished in the current state something must be done more than currently is to limit their damage now and in the long run or years of research and development along with millions more could perish by these fires.

    What do you suggest must be done in order to control the wildfires in Australia? I agree completely that something must be done, but what steps should be taken to begin this change?

    With the wildfires in Australia do you think that more attempts at prevention could be raised.

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
