Tougher rules being enforced in Japan will see employers fined if they fail to take adequate precautions to protect workers from extreme temperatures. The revised legislation, which came into effect on Sunday, is a rare global example of a national-level policy on heat safety for employees, and comes after 30 workplace deaths and roughly 1,200 injuries last year associated with high temperatures, according to health ministry data. Most of those affected worked in construction or manufacturing.

Según un estudio científico, las grandes colonias de pingüinos en la Antártida tienen la capacidad de influir en la atmósfera y podrían estar contribuyendo a reducir el impacto del cambio climático. Los excrementos acumulados de los pingüinos, o guano, emiten amoníaco, un gas que puede contribuir a la formación de nubes y que probablemente genera un efecto refrigerante al crear una barrera entre el calor del sol y el hielo y el agua de la Antártida.

Penguins at the Paradise Bay in the Gerlache Strait. (Bloomberg) -- Large colonies of penguins in Antarctica have an ability to influence the atmosphere and could be helping reduce the impact of climate change, according to a scientific study. Accumulated penguin excrement — or guano — emits ammonia, a gas that can contribute to the formation of clouds and which is likely generating a cooling effect by creating a buffer between the sun’s heat and Antarctica’s ice and water.
