Not many people like termites, as they can destroy houses and chew up your wooden furniture. Pests can be terrible and we agree on that, however termites can also be important to ecosystems in semi-arid lands like grasslands and savannas where they can help plants resist climate change, according to a study.

Over the next five years, thermometers will set record temperatures, with an increase that could exceed 1.5 ° C by 2024. These are recent forecasts for the decade 2020-2030, developed by the British Met Office, the authority on the subject. The Met office is one of the world's leading centers, specializing in short-term climate analysis, as well as annual and multi-year forecasts, thanks to data collected by NASA, Noaa and HadCRUT4.
