Kraftig ökning av algblomning på 2000-talet enligt ny studie av satellitbilder

I maj och juni 2020 hittades mer än 300 döda elefanter i Botswanas deltaområde Okavango. Till en början misstänkte man att tjuvjakt var orsaken, men det visade sig senare att de var förgiftade av cyanobakterier efter att ha druckit vatten. Giftiga algblomningar i vatten är ett allvarligt miljöproblem i sjövatten eftersom det är finns risk för människor och djurs liv. I en ny studie publicerad i Na

Global kartläggning av motstånd mot klimatanpassning 

Varför gör människor motstånd mot åtgärder som ska skydda dem mot klimatrisker? Denna fråga utforskas i en studie från Lunds universitet som kartlägger var, och i vilka sammanhang, olika grupper motsätter sig klimatanpassningar.  – Klimatanpassning ses alltmer som något nödvändigt och bra, där brist på pengar eller kapacitet är det enda hindret för framgångsrika lösningar. Människor som inte vill

Saharas solparker kan påverka klimat och energiproduktion globalt

Byggandet av stora solenergiparker i Saharaöknen kan ha oväntade effekter på solenergin i världen – även i länder långt från Sahara. Solparkerna kan enligt nya simuleringar minska produktionen av solenergi i länder som USA, Indien och Kina. Att storskaliga solenergiparker kan påverka klimatet och ekosystemet i närområdet är välkänt. Detta då solpanelerna är mörkare än Saharas ljusa sand, vilket le
