Ancient Ice Core from Antarctica May Reveal Climate Mysteries from 1.2 Million Years Ago
A team of scientists in Antarctica has extracted a 2.8-kilometre-long ice core from Little Dome C, believed to be 1.2 million years old. The ice core contains trapped air bubbles and volcanic ash, offering valuable data on climate shifts and the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. The research aims to uncover the cause behind significant climatic changes a...

Human Hunting More Responsible for Kangaroo Extinction than Climate Change
A recent study of ancient kangaroo teeth contradicts previous beliefs that climate change caused their extinction. By examining the wear on teeth, researchers found that kangaroos had flexible diets, which made them resilient to climate shifts. This evidence suggests that human hunting activities, rather than dietary limitations, played a more sign...

How Human Activity Fuels Pandemics: Climate Change and Biodiversity at the Core
Human-driven disruptions to ecosystems are linked to the rising frequency of pandemics. Climate change and biodiversity loss affect pathogen spread, increasing human exposure. Experts highlight the need to address root causes, including wildlife-human interactions, to prevent future outbreaks. The planetary health approach, focusing on ecological p...

Bumble Bees Suffering From Loss of Smell After Heat Waves Struck the Planet Last Year, Finds Study
Extreme heat waves are not only a growing threat to humans but also to vital pollinators like bumble bees. A recent study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals that heat waves can significantly impair bumble bees' ability to detect the scents of flowers they depend on for food. This discovery raises concerns about the potentia...
