In the last 37 years, temperatures have risen, and these changes have had an effect on the composition of the Drosophila subsurface fly, one of the most common on the European continent. These are the conclusions of a study carried out by researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, who have analyzed the evolution of the genome of this species since 1976.
The heat generated in large cities can heat the atmosphere and influence weather conditions in regions thousands of kilometers away, according to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. According to the authors, this phenomenon would help explain why some areas of the planet are warming above what climate models predict.
When soils are drier, afternoon storms are more likely to form. These are the results of a study published in Nature, which contradicts current predictive simulation models of the conditions that would occur in a context of climate change.

The Mars Express probe of the European Space Agency (ESA) shows us images of two craters in the Arabia Terra region whose composition could indicate that the red planet underwent climatic changes
Between 2001 and 2012 there have been the highest average temperatures on record and, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), this trend has continued during the year that is about to end. The provisional version of the Declaration on the State of the Climate produced annually by the WMO also highlights the record reached in the Arctic sea melt during 2012, as well as the extreme meteorological phenomena that have been registered in different parts of the world.
The new data presented at the symposium "20 years of progress in radar altimetry", held these days in Venice (Italy) confirm an average rise in sea level of 3 millimeters per year. Scientists attribute this rise to rising temperatures and melting glaciers in the mountains and ice at the poles.
Last Sunday the North Pole ice cap measured 3.42 million square kilometers. That is 18% smaller than five years ago, according to the National Snow and Ice Center of the United States (NSIDC) announced. According to its director, Mark Serreze, global warming caused by humans has caused more and more sea ice to melt and the layer to be much thinner.
