2000 livers get discarded each year because they deteriorate in transit, damaged by ice packs. A new device keeps the liver at room temperature, and is likely to double the number of donated livers available for transplant.
Basis, a sensor-filled watch, comes with an accelerometer and goes about 10 steps further utilizing an optical blood flow sensor to keep track of your heart rate, a perspiration monitor, and a skin temperature monitor too.
The tough old tuatara is set to face grave romantic troubles in the future, to the dismay of biologists. Warmer climates mean that the sex of all hatchlings, which hinge on temperature, will be male.

Many species of fruit fly appear to be constrained within an evolutionary straitjacket and can't readily adapt to climate change-related temperature increases.

Balls of moss on glaciers, called mice, contain miniature ecosystems. In fact, with inner temperatures warmer than the surrounding ice and a constant water supply, these roving worlds teem with life.

Riddling the side of Mt. Erebus are ice caves, carved out by escaping volcanic gases. While the inside may be extremely hot, outside of it one would quickly freeze to death in the Antarctic temperatures.

The flexible "stems" of BioWAVE's floats allow them to pivot to capture the most energy from the ocean's waves. But the inspiration gained from seaweed must be tempered by practicality.

Once confined to the deep ocean surrounding Antarctica, the king crab has begun to creep up the continental shelf as water temperatures have consistently risen, wreaking havoc on other sea life.

Record holder, adventurer, and daredevil, Wim Hof is nicknamed the Iceman for his ability to withstand, and even thrive, in temperatures that could be fatal to the average person.
The Vatican is playing down the importance of remarks made by Pope Benedict appearing to temper the opposition of the Roman Catholic Church to condoms.
The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 spewed almost 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, causing worldwide temperatures to drop half a degree on average.
Geoengineering could potentially be used to lower the temperature of the planet, but would most likely have unintended consequences, such as altered rainfall patterns.
You see here the results of 150 years of work to produce a structurally correct and sound, docile in temperament, fertile in breeding and above all the ultimate beef machine.

Bog bodies are rare and important discoveries because they are so wonderfully preserved. The cold temperature, high acidity and anaerobic condition of the bog prevent decomposition.
