Rising temperatures will cause more deaths than all infectious diseases – study
Rising temperatures are set to cause particular devastation in poorer, hotter parts of the world that will struggle to adapt to unbearable conditions that will kill increasing numbers of people, the research has found.
The economic loss from the climate crisis, as well as the cost of adaptation, will be felt around the world, including in wealthy countries.

Dogs may use Earth’s magnetic field to take shortcuts | Science | AAAS
Dogs are renowned for their world-class noses, but a new study suggests they may have an additional—albeit hidden—sensory talent: a magnetic compass. The sense appears to allow them to use Earth’s magnetic field to calculate shortcuts in unfamiliar terrain.#science #wildlife #animals #environment #natureDogs may use Earth’s magnetic field to take shortcuts

'We've never seen this': wildlife thrives in closed US national parks
"Earlier this month, for the first time in recent memory, pronghorn antelope ventured into the sun-scorched lowlands of Death Valley national park. Undeterred by temperatures that climbed to over 110F, the animals were observed by park staff browsing on a hillside not far from Furnace Creek visitor center."
"'This is something we haven’t seen in our lifetimes', said Kati Schmidt, a spokesperson for the National Parks Conservation Association. 'We’ve known they’re in some of the higher elevation areas of Death Valley but as far as we’re aware they’ve never been documented this low in the park, near park headquarters'."
"The return of pronghorns to Death Valley is but one of many stories of wildlife thriving on public lands since the coronavirus closures went into effect a month and a half ago."
"In Yosemite national park, closed since 20 March, wildlife have flocked in large numbers to a virtually abandoned Yosemite Valley."
