The species that live in nature reserves will be better protected against climate change

The researchers: "Amphibians and reptiles that live in nature reserves around the world will be more protected from climate change, but are still likely to be damaged."

The weather in the Middle East during the last ice age contributed to the movement of people to permanent settlements

A new study reveals that an increase in the frequency of storms, along with a decrease in evaporation about 20 years ago, were likely significant factors that enabled the transition to permanent settlements and an agricultural society

The meteorological service: changes in the distribution of rains but not in their amount. Does political correctness minimize the role of man?

This is according to a new report of the meteorological service, but at the same time the service's website is full of 'politically correct' formulations that minimize the human impact on the climate * Director of the service, Dr. Nir Stav: feel the

Climate - agriculture - food

In the poorest and most densely populated areas on Earth, drinking water wells, dug to avoid the need to use surface water contaminated with bacteria, are poisoned by arsenic originating from groundwater. Now these too are in danger. Illustration: pixabay.

Polarization means tribalism. American society has become so tribal that belonging to the political left is like a statement of faith, a declaration that the phenomenon of climate change is real. And similarly, identifying with the right necessarily means denying climate change. Pictured: A sign with the inscription "Science is real", at the Women's March in Washington DC.

Questions for the future of humanity: How will climate change change us?

A new study examined the effect of global warming on animals. Among other things, it was found that animals from tropical areas have difficulty adapting to the rising temperatures and show a tendency to move away towards temperate areas where the temperature is more comfortable.
