Od Remyja iz filma Juhuhu (Ratatouille) do slavnog njujorškog "pizza štakora", vjerojatno ne postoji životinja koja s ljudima ima složeniji odnos ljubavi i mržnje od roda Rattus. Prisutni su na svim kontinentima osim Antarktike, a štakori se, i to s pravom, često smatraju pokazateljem siromaštva, prljavštine i bolesti. Studija objavljena ovaj tjedan u časopisu Science Advances sugerira da porast temperatura zbog klimatskih promjena dovodi i do povećanja populacije štakora.

Od Ratatouillijevega Remyja do znamenite newyorške podgane s pico - verjetno ni živali, ki bi bila z ljudmi bolj zapletena v odnos ljubezni in sovraštva kot rod Rattus. Najdemo jih na vseh celinah razen na Antarktiki, podgane pa se - in to upravičeno - pogosto vidijo kot pokazatelj revščine, umazanije in bolezni. Študija, ki je bila ta teden objavljena v reviji Science Advances, nakazuje, da se s segrevanjem podnebja povečujejo tudi populacije podgan.

Bloomberg — Es posible que el planeta ya haya desperdiciado su oportunidad de contener el calentamiento global a 1,5ºC, según indican dos nuevos estudios publicados en Nature Climate Change. Los 196 países que firmaron el Acuerdo de París en 2015 se comprometieron a controlar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero con el fin de limitar el incremento de la temperatura media global a “muy por debajo” de 2ºC y, en términos ideales, a 1,5ºC con respecto a la era preindustrial.

California’s Highway One, stretching more than 650 miles along the Pacific Coast, is one of America’s most popular roadways because of its breathtaking views. Yet, since 2023, large chunks of it have been closed. That year, a series of atmospheric rivers pummeled the state with rain, triggering landslides and rockslides that the iconic thoroughfare wasn’t built to withstand.

The world may have already missed its chance to limit global warming to 1.5C, according to two new studies in Nature Climate Change. The Paris Agreement was inked in 2015, with 196 countries agreeing to rein in greenhouse gas emissions to keep the global average temperature increase to “well below” 2C and ideally cap it at 1.5C compared to pre-industrial times. The new analyses show the world will surpass the latter, underscoring the urgent need to cut carbon emissions.
