The "anti Greta"

As many people know Greta Thunberg has been spreading awareness through her school strike for climate change movement. Some support her because she's a young activist who doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to the future of the planet. Others think she over exaggerates to create fear driven activism. One of Greta's nay says comes from her own generation. 19 year old Naomi Seibt is apart of The Heartland Institute. Heartland is an organization that is focused on Climate change. In seeing the impact that Greta has had on the far left it makes sense that a more right leaning opponent would eventually come up. Naomi does not completely dismiss climate change and acknowledges how climate change impacts the world. However she believes that Greta and scientists alike have greatly exaggerated the impacts of carbon emissions and that the immediate fate of the world is not as grim as the left says. Naomi and The Heartland Institute believe things like solar energy are contributing more towards carbon emissions rather than other man created emissions.

Its always important to recognize both sides on an argument but it is imperative to realize as we are still at a pivotal point in the climate crisis that a certain amount of fear needs to be in the world for action to take place.

    I think a lot of people do discredit Greta for her age or more out of the box views, but I think everyone should be able to recognize that she is at least trying to make a change and be the voice in her generation instead of silenced by those who don't agree with her. Addressing Naomi's views also adds another layer that not all of the upcoming generations are in agreement and there are still those who do not believe or agree with left views and thoughts on climate change. I appreciate all that Greta is doing and I hope we continue to see her taking great strides.

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
