More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ #climatedisasters struck world in #2024 - #UN
#Floods, #heatwaves and supercharged #hurricanes occurred in hottest #climate human society has ever experienced
#WMO's report on 2024, hottest year on record. Heatwaves in Japan left hundreds of thousands of people struck down by heatstroke. Soaring temps during heatwaves peaked at 49.9C at Carnarvon in Western Australia, 49.7C in city of Tabas in Iran, and 48.5C in nationwide heatwave in Mali.

"Freshwater ecosystems require adequate oxygen levels to sustain aerobic life and maintain healthy biological communities. However, both long-term climate warming and the increasing frequency and intensity of short-term heatwaves are significantly reducing surface dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in lakes worldwide, according to a new study"

"Heatwaves appear to trigger heritable gene expression changes that may help make the fish more tolerant of thermal stress, researchers report in novel study"

EurekAlert!Threatened by warming waters, brook trout may be able to adapt to hotter weatherBrook trout may have a genetic trick up their scales when it comes to adapting, with limitations, to heatwaves that threaten their existence. Scientists have known for years that brook trout — an iconic coldwater fish species native to streams and lakes in the eastern United States and Canada — are extremely vulnerable to warming temperatures, with more than half of their habitats characterized as highly sensitive and highly vulnerable to such changes by U.S. Forest Service researchers in 2010. Now, a novel study led by researchers at Penn State suggests that brook trout are capable of mounting a protective genetic response to thermal stress that can be passed on from one generation to the next.
