Earth had its second-warmest March ever recorded

This past winter was one of the warmest in history with two of the surprisingly mild winter months being January and February and then March which was second-warmest March ever recorded. The NOAA says it is apparent that we are at the beginning of a long-term warming period. The models they have created suggest 2020 may be the hottest year recorded since 1880.

This is very alarming to me because this is very climate-altering evidence that climate change is very real and that it is much more of a threat than many believe. If this trend continues we are in for many environmental changes and that could lead to many problems.

    What do you think this could mean for the future of our earth's climate, and do you think this is just a one time thing or a trend of what's to come?

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
