Although termites are not related to ants, they have a similar way of life. Sometimes they are even called white ants. Their huge nests are made from sand mixed with their own droppings!
Only ourselves to blame
Only ourselves to blame A new report on the Earth's climate by the
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that
human activity is responsible for an overall rise in global
temperatures. The IPCC had previously thought that the rise in
temperature was due to human activity, but they had no definite
proof. Since 1976 the world has been warming by 2?C a century. By
using methods such as examination of tree rings, the IPCC has
discovered that the rise in global temperatures over the last 1,000
years cannot be due only to natural factors and that humans are
responsible for much of the change. 20 NOVEMBER 1999, P. 24
