Raymond Pierrehumbert, a physicist at Oxford University, says solar geoengineering is even too risky to research beyond computer models.Not all environmentalists are opposed to it. Since the world is un
29、likely to achieve the 1. 5 global warming target set in the Paris Agreement, some green organizations favour small-sized geoengineering research.Regardless of the criticism, the research continues.

37、st Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it? Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased their number by speeding up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also
38、played a role: homeowners who were not able to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds.The severity of tropical diseases is also a matter of whether governments are capableand willingto defend their po
39、pulations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test for the presence of the disease. Tropical infections are thus as much related to government inaction as they are to climate.
