Learning from our environment

Bolivia is gearing up to ship ice to Antarctica.
Come May, an international team of scientists will harvest ice from Mt. Illimani and send it to the Concordia Research Station in Antarctica. The purpose is to preserve a “climatological memory” as climate change continues to disappear our glaciers worldwide. [Global Citizen]

Climate change may start dwarfing the world’s animals.
Paleontologists have discovered that some of the world’s animals shrunk by 14 percent during a warming event that happened more than 50 million years ago. They believe it’s some kind of evolutionary response to drastically warming temperatures. [Telegraph]

And it may start changing the shapes of our noses.
In the past, scientists have studied human skulls to determine how our environments shape what we look like, but a new study honed in on just our noses. The findings back up a long-held claim that people who live in warm, humid climates tend to have wider nostrils while people living in chillier, dry climates have narrower nostrils. Apparently, the variety of human noses around the world is a result of natural selection, and it may continue to change with our warming climate.[The Guardian]
