The 2020 carbon emission decline was staggering.

    In 2020 we faced a pandemic, which was a blessing and a curse. It helped the world bring carbon emission to a low, and help it heal. The carbon emissions fell 7% in the U.S from 2019 to 2020. Daily Global carbon emissions fell by 17%. These are huge drops, espicially in China which has suffered from severe pollution for a long time. The pandemic gave us a new lessons and a achieveable goal to improve climate change.

    It is crazy how even after everything we went through, some good still came from the Covid-19 pandemic. Since everyone was in quarantine a lot of issues we faced before it resolved or calmed down. It is nice to know that some good came out of it even though a lot of us struggled majorly through the pandemic.

    I find it very interesting how our emissions lowered significantly due to COVID. I wonder if there is a way that we can keep these harmful emissions down with everything starting to re open again?

    I think that the emissions mainly decreased because of the pandemic, and more people are starting to make the change to buying Tesla cars.

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
