Researchers say the tick species also has the potential to transmit disease to humans. “These longhorned ticks have the potential to transmit theileriosis, a disease that kills red blood cells in cattle,” Ierardi said in a press release. “Symptoms of this infection in cattle could include weight loss, t...

Climate change leaves fingerprints on July heat waves around the globe, study says

By SETH BORENSTEIN (AP Science Writer)The fingerprints of climate change are all over the intense heat waves gripping the globe this month, a new study finds.

Their study is the first to look at three simultaneous heat waves on three different continents.These unusually strong heat waves are becoming more common, Tuesday’s study said. The same research found the increase in heat-trapping gases, largely from ...
