Tutkijat kehottavat huomioimaan eläinten levittämien tautien riskin ennallistamishankkeissa | Helsingin yliopisto Häiriöt villieläinten elinympäristöissä lisäävät myyräkuumeen kaltaisten eläimestä ihmiseen tarttuvien tautien puhkeamisriskiä. Helsingin yliopiston tutkijoiden johtama tutkimus osoitti kuitenkin, ett...

Häiriöt villieläinten elinympäristöissä lisäävät eläimestä ihmiseen tarttuvien tautien puhkeamisriskiä. Myös luonnon ennallistamiseen liittyy vaaroja.

Toivotut lajit eivät aina palaa alueelle heti ennallistamistoimien jälkeen, ja tauteja levittävät eläimet voivat sillä välin levitä ja lisääntyä.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Quite worrying solutions recently in the global weather models regarding Humberto's post-tropical intensification. The system is forecast to deepen explosively while arriving Europe.
