Earth s Atmosphere Is Retaining Heat Twice as Fast as It Did Just 15 Years Ago

These days it seems you can t walk through a bookstore without bumping into a book or magazine pointing out the negative consequences of climate change. Everything from the hottest years on record to ruining astronomy can be tied to climate change.
Now some new science lays another potential problem at climate change s feet – Earth is retaining more than twice as much heat annually as it was 15 years ago.
A team from NASA and NOAA found that Earth s energy imbalance doubled between 2005 and 2019. The energy imbalance is simple to understand but complex in its causes and impacts. It is the difference between the amount of energy absorbed by Earth and the amount of energy emitted by it.

Slowdown in global warming linked to lower incidence of malaria in the Ethiopian highlands
The slowdown in global warming that was observed at the end of last century was reflected by a decrease in malaria transmission in the Ethiopian highlands, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by la Caixa Foundation, and the University of Chicago. The results, published in
Nature Communications, underscore the close connection between climate and health.
For several years there has been a heated debate on the impact of global warming on malaria incidence. It is believed that the largest effect could occur in the highlands, where lower temperatures limit vector abundance, leading to intermittent and seasonal disease outbreaks. We see that malaria epidemiology in these areas is strongly under climate control at all scales (months, years and even decades), which settles once and for all the debate on whether climate chang
