Species can evolve to tolerate higher temperatures – but there's a ceiling beyond which adaptation isn't possible.
Marine wildlife rarely remain in one habitat. Most species rely on a healthy network of ecosystems to raise their young and catch their food.

Without understanding which fish species and habitats local fishers rely on, export bans can do more harm than good.
Don't blame climate change for the 39,000 forest fires now incinerating huge tracts of the Brazilian Amazon. This environmental catastrophe is human-made and highly political.
