Scientists are warning about the harmful effects heat waves of global warming. Actions to reduce this should be taken on a global scale. But the truth is that this is not being taken at the right pace.
What are the solutions to extreme heat?
Due to global warming, the temperature of the sea is also increasing. Due to this, marine life is severely affected. Some of them have started adapting to the changing temperature. One of them is the ‘green turtle’. This has been confirmed in a study conducted in Cyprus.
Usually, these turtles come to the shore to lay eggs only at a certain time. However, as the temperature of the sea increases, they come and carry their eggs earlier than usual.
That is, for every degree that the temperature of the sea increases, they come to the shore 6.4 days earlier. This is because when the temperature increases, the chick inside the egg is likely to die. Turtles do this to protect their species as the temperature changes.
However, this strategy will not be useful in the long run. Biologists say that at some point, when temperatures rise uncontrollably, this species of turtle is likely to become extinct. Therefore, it is our duty to control the increase in temperature.
What is science short note
Scientists had said that the asteroid 2024 YR4 would hit the Earth in 2032. But its current path is changing. Due to this, it has been found that the chance of it hitting the Earth is very low.
‘Duck weed’ is a type of algae that grows in ponds. It is eaten as food in Asian countries including Thailand. It is rich in protein. This food is now also becoming popular in Europe.
Diet. Fitness apps are becoming popular among young people today. Many people benefit from these. Flinders University in Australia has reported that some users are under extreme pressure to achieve their goals with these apps.
Recently, archaeologists found a completely different fossil in Egypt. This is of a creature that lived 30 million years ago. It is similar to today’s hyena.
Forests in the US state of Colorado are facing problems such as insect infestation, disease, and wildfires. This is destroying trees. Biologists have found that the amount of carbon released by these forests is greater than the amount absorbed.
In science, even the authority of 1,000 men is worthless before the intellectual question of a single person.
