>A recent review of vegan diets in children brings together data from 437 publications with most studies confirming that vegan children have normal growth rates, well within the normal range and a number of benefits that relate to a lower intake of saturated fat, the increased consumption of fibre and phytonutrients and a lower body weight and body fat (8).

Plain language summary:

The study found that Arctic warming is contributing to increases in the number of marine heatwaves in the Northeast Pacific over the past few decades. This is due to changes in the atmospheric circulation pattern over the Northeast Pacific, which are reducing the amount of low-level clouds and increasing the amount of solar radiation and reduced latent heat loss. This has resulted in an increase in sea surface temperatures and marine heatwave days. The study suggests that the effects of Arctic warming on marine heatwaves should be taken into account when making climate change adaptation and mitigation plans.

Plain language summary:

According to a new study from Yale University, climate change could lead to a decrease in the biomass of tropical forests, resulting in an increase in carbon emissions that could accelerate global warming. The research team used historical data and satellite maps to study above-ground biomass in the tropics of South America, Africa, and Asia. They found that if greenhouse gas emissions from human activity are higher, losses of stored carbon could nearly double by 2100. The researchers hope that these findings will help strengthen the case for current climate policy initiatives, such as the Paris Climate Agreement, that seek to limit global warming and preserve tropical forests.
