Kenyan farmers turn to makeshift greenhouses amid climate variability
[ad_1] Farmers The 10m by 15m structure of the Murang’a farm in central Kenya is made of wood and polyethylene sheeting for the walls and roof. The polyethylene material that wears out can cause you to be rejected from a distance, but that’s until you get close. Inside the makeshift greenhouse are dozens of thriving […]
Climate models predict even more warming, which concerns scientists
A handful of climate projections predict a rise in global temperatures much higher than what scientists have seen in previous models. Although the number raises concerns, some scientists hope the latest projections are outliers. A 2 degree rise in temperature could lead to rising sea levels, the death of coral reefs and dangerous water scarcity […]
