Study Reveals Impact Of Heat Extremes On Tropical Birds' Populations
The study found that while shifts in average temperature and rainfall have some influence, the biggest climate threat to birds, particularly in tropical regions, comes from exposure to extreme heat.

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...

Concrete Urban Buildings, Neighbourhoods Can Heat Up Microclimates in Cities: Here's How
New method of modelling urban building energy takes into consideration heat waves in urban cities and how human-caused parameters aggravate it. It studies the heating pattern of urban cities during city-wide heat waves. The research is based on a case study conducted in Los Angeles, California, during a five-day heatwave event in September 2009.

Climate Change Probably Added 4 Degrees To Europe's June Heatwave: Study
Man-made climate change probably made last month's European heatwave, in which southern France experienced a national record 45.9 degrees Celsius, 4C (7F) hotter than it would otherwise have been, scientists said on Tuesday.
