We're Warming Up Earth Just Fine. Now, Scientists Want To Do The Same On Mars

Description

Scientists are looking at ways to make Mars more habitable for humans. According to Gizmodo, one idea is using an insulating material called silica aerogel. It's hypothesized that an aerogel blanket could more easily melt the water on the Martian ice caps. Such a material might therefore be useful to raise the ground temperature in the region around the Martian poles. Tiles of the material could be assembled into a greenhouse-like structure.

The Most Adorable Animals On Earth Are Dying Out--And It's Our Own Stupid Fault

New research published in PLOS One shows the koala bear population is in decline--and it's because of humans. According to CNN, a number of human-driven stressors are depressing koalas' immune systems, making them more susceptible to disease. Human encroachment, or farming land previously occupied by koalas, is a major factor. So is climate change, which is robbing the landscape of water and trees. CNN reports climate change is also contributing to the intensity of widespread bushfires in Australia, as seen in the record-breaking blazes of 2019 and 2020. World Wide Fund for Nature - Australia is trying to double koala numbers-- in part by planting seeds to grow more trees that grow koala food.
