Climate Change May Bring Dangerous Microsporidian Fungi to Europe

Microsporidia — single-celled parasites that science only recently reclassified as fungi rather than protozoa — have until now been considered an exotic and little-known threat. Rising temperatures driven by climate change may, however, allow them to spread into Europe. Researchers warn they will need to dedicate increasing attention to these organisms in the coming years.

Does climate change pose a greater health threat than we are ready to admit?

Japan triples departure tax and raises visa fees for first time in 50 years

Japan has tripled its departure tax levied on all tourists leaving the country and raised visa fees for the first time in nearly 50 years. The extra revenue is intended to help manage the negative effects of overtourism in popular destinations. The move is part of the government's broader efforts to control mass tourism.

It is one of the oldest and richest collections of such palaeontological evidence discovered in North America.
