Three major studies by Israeli researchers on climate change in
the Middle East shed new light on various aspects of global
warming and how we should contend with them. Researchers around
the world are putting their minds together, focusing on both
global and local patterns to find symptoms of climate change.
From coring into ice samples at the North Pole, to measuring
coral reef damage in the Red Sea, scientists want to know how
man-made global warming will affect nature, and our place in it.
With the basic tools of science, Israeli researchers are looking
to the past and present to understand climate in the Middle East
— evidence which could be useful on the global scale. Three
major studies in this direction were published recently by
Israeli researchers, shedding new light on how carbon sinks in
forests work, what we should interpret from short-term patterns
on rising sea levels, and how humans may adapt their
agricultural practices to changing climates. These studies add
to the bigger picture, helping sc
