The opposite of collateral damage



    Normally we think that during different wars the populations of different species decreases, that's not 100% correct. In the mountainous rainforests of Jammu and Kashmir, on the borders of India, Pakistan, and China the population of indigenous animals is increasing. The police have collected most of the weapons people carry around, and people are no longer scared to go outside and walk around. Also because of this, there is almost no poaching, making the populations rise more. The fact that war has created an increase in rare animal's population is extremely astonishing. CREATING WAR IS HIGHLY NOT RECOMENDED TO BRING UP POPULATIONS THOUGH. 


    I found this article very entertaining and informative. It definitely changed my perspective on what is going on around the world and how it effects the populations, not just in a bad way. The only thing that confuses me is, what happens when we stop? Like will those animal's populations decrease again, or will they stay the same, or even increase more.

    It is interesting to consider that something so awful could have positive effects. Humans are too distracted killing each other or being afraid of their own kind, the animals have more freedom. I would think it could harm species because wars happen in the wilderness sometimes which could harm their habitats if they use bombs. I assume that only harms a smaller number of animals then removing guns saves.

    That is very interesting, and it makes total sense once you think about it for a bit. However, I wonder if this result would change depending on where and when the war was fought, and who is fighting. For example, if there were to be a major naval battle, large amounts of oil and other materials would make its way into the ocean, possible harming many species rather than helping,

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
