Resorts are racing to adapt by extending summer activities and using snow cannons to cover barren slopes
This season was particularly tough. Europe endured its second-warmest winter on record: between December and February, the average temperature was 1.4 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average. France’s national weather agency, Météo France, said 2022 ended with some of the warmest weather the country has ever experienced at that time of year – capping a year that saw temperature records broken and rampant forest fires and drought conditions.
The changes are visible from space. A study of high-resolution satellite data published last June showed how the snow-capped mountains are increasingly colonised by green plants and brown earth. Vegetated areas above the treeline in the Alps have increased by 77 per cent since 1984, according to a study published in. “The scale of the change has turned out to be absolutely massive in the Alps,” said University of Basel Professor Sabine Rumpf, the paper’s lead author.

Dietary magnesium intake is related to larger brain volumes and lower white matter lesions with notable sex differences - European Journal of NutritionPurpose To examine the association between dietary magnesium (Mg) intake and brain volumes and white matter lesions (WMLs) in middle to early old age. Methods Participants (aged 40–73 years) from UK Biobank (n = 6001) were included and stratified by sex. Dietary Mg was measured using an online computerised 24 h recall questionnaire to estimate daily Mg intake. Latent class analysis and hierarchical linear regression models were performed to investigate the association between baseline dietary Mg, Mg trajectories, and brain volumes and WMLs. Associations between baseline Mg, and baseline blood pressure (BP) measures, and baseline Mg, Mg trajectories and BP changes (between baseline and wave 2) were also investigated to assess whether BP mediates the link between Mg intake and brain health. All analyses controlled for health and socio-demographic covariates. Possible interactions between menopausal status and Mg trajectories in predicting brain volumes and WMLs were also investigated. Results On average, higher baseline dietary Mg intake was associated with larger brain volumes (gray matter [GM]: 0.001% [SE = 0.0003]; left hippocampus [LHC]: 0.0013% [SE = 0.0006]; and right hippocampus [RHC]: 0.0023% [SE = 0.0006]) in both men and women. Latent class analysis of Mg intake revealed three classes: “high-decreasing” (men = 3.2%, women = 1.9%), “low-increasing” (men = 1.09%, women = 1.62%), and “stable normal” (men = 95.71%, women = 96.51%). In women, only the “high-decreasing” trajectory was significantly associated with larger brain volumes (GM: 1.17%, [SE = 0.58]; and RHC: 2.79% [SE = 1.11]) compared to the “normal-stable”, the “low-increasing” trajectory was associated with smaller brain volumes (GM: − 1.67%, [SE = 0.30]; white matter [WM]: − 0.85% [SE = 0.42]; LHC: − 2.43% [SE = 0.59]; and RHC: − 1.50% [SE = 0.57]) and larger WMLs (1.6% [SE = 0.53]). Associations between Mg and BP measures were mostly non-significant. Furthermore, the observed neuroprotective effect
