Possible sign of life on Venus stirs up heated debate

 The  chemical, Phosphine is a chemical that can only be made by living things. It has been said that there is a possibility of this being on Venus. Yes, that would have to mean there are living things producing it. Whether it is humans or microbes, something is out there. It could mean a variety of things, but scientists are not quite sure exactly what it is yet. Clara Sousa-Silva, a scientist who has been studying this, says that phosphine should not be in Venus's atmosphere, because it would be too hard to successfully make. There is a possibility the phosphine fingerprint could be false, which is why there have been no definite conclusions made yet. 

This discovery would be a lifechanging find. It would tell us many things as well. That other planets could possibly be suitable for life. Although Venus has an extremely high surface temperature, and would be impossible to live on, it is still fascinating that the chemical has possibly been traced to be found on Venus.

    We have always believed that there is life on other planets, but we haven't been able to fully conclude on that statement. Since Phosphine is a chemical that is made by living things, we can now say there is some life form on Venus. Although, it is too hot to travel to, we now know there is other life forms then just what we have on Earth.

    I agree with the other comment by saying I've always thought there was life out there. The solar systems is huge and so many things we don't know.

    There definitely should be/is life on other plants because the universe is so vast that there as to be other lifeforms. Although, there is not enough evidence to 100% confirm there is life on Venus it is still very interesting to follow.

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
