Global warming "takes" 25 years from infrastructures

Observador9 September 2026 at 22:20

A study on the impact of global warming on critical infrastructures concluded that the lifespan of these infrastructures can be reduced by 18 to 25 years by the year 2100.

The research analyzed the effects of climate change on infrastructures and quantified the negative impact that rising temperatures can have on the durability of these essential structures.

This study provides new evidence on the economic and social costs that global warming can represent for societies, warning of the need to consider this factor in the planning and maintenance of infrastructures.

Very hot drinks can increase the risk of this deadly disease by up to three times

A recent study reveals that consuming very hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, can increase the risk of developing esophageal cancer by up to three times. Researchers warn that temperatures above 60°C can cause thermal damage to esophageal cells, especially when consumed regularly. The World Health Organization had already classified drinks above 65°C as probably carcinogenic. Experts recommend letting drinks cool down a bit before consuming and avoiding excessively frequent consumption of liquids at high temperatures.
