Global warming climate change study : Scientists have long known that warmth can help living things grow, move, and function more efficiently. But a massive new analysis has revealed an unexpected catch, once temperatures rise beyond a certain point, biological performance can decline rapidly, no matter whether the organism is a bacterium, plant, or animal, as per a report.
The discovery comes from researchers who analyzed more than 30,000 measurements across thousands of experiments and found that life on Earth appears to follow the same basic temperature pattern, as per an Eco News report. While moderate warming can boost performance, extreme heat may push organisms toward a tipping point much faster than scientists once thought.
