climate
change by capturing carbon isn't just about saving a polar bear or a glacier.
How do you use satellites to help people in developing countries or with
climate
change?
And they happen, on average, to have a certain unique physiology: legs that are very long and very thin at their extremity, and this is because they have their ancestry at very low latitude in a very hot and dry climate, and an evolutionary adaptation to that is limbs that are very long and very thin at the extremity for cooling purposes.
