Humans inhabit hot climates, both dry and humid, and have done so for millions of years. Selective use of clothing and technological inventions such as air conditioning allows humans to live in hot climates. One example is the Chaamba, who live in the Sahara Desert. They wear clothing that traps air in between skin and the clothes, preventing ...
Thermographic image: a cold-blooded snake is shown eating a warm-blooded mouse. Warm-blooded is an informal term referring to animal species whose bodies maintain a temperature higher than that of their environment. In particular, homeothermic species (including birds and mammals) maintain a stable body temperature by regulating metabolic ...
Nature-based solutions is an overarching term that includes actions known as ecosystem-based adaptation.

“Hot water, like cold water, can be uncomfortable and promote burns,” Malin says. “Temperature in many studies tends to be near 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but going well above that should be ...
Ice baths after exercise are hot, especially among influencers. But a new small study suggests that recreational athletes perform better if they soak in a hot tub rather than a frigid one ...
Performance on hot and cold tasks improves most rapidly during the preschool years, [8] but continues into adolescence.

[9] Specific areas within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) are thought to be associated with both hot and cold cognition.
