WASHINGTON (AP) — A meticulous re-creation of a three decade-old study of birds on a mountainside in Peru has given scientists a rare chance to prove how the changing climate is pushing species out of the places they are best adapted to. Surveys of more than 400 species of birds in 1985 and then in 2017 have found that populations of almost all had declined, as many as eight had disappeared completely, and nearly all had moved to higher elevations in what scientists call "an escalator to extinction." "Once you move up as far as you can go... Читать дальше...

A: Homes will be better insulated and air-cooling systems will become the rule, rather than the exception, in San Francisco. Roofs will be covered with water catch systems, vegetation or solar panels. You won’t see dark colored roofing materials, which absorb heat and increase urban temperatures. Solar panels will generate electricity to supply power to the entire household. The electrical grid must allow power transmission between home and grid. Rainwater will be collected and re-used, rather than allowed to flow through sewer systems. Читать дальше...
