Antes de mais, Bom ano 2021! Não, não é uma piada. Haja esperança e coragem! Não podemos deixar-nos vencer pelos tempos difíceis provocados pela pandemia Covid-19 provocados pela pandemiaCovid-19 e suas variantes.
Há que cumprir rigorosamente as regras sanitárias propostas pela DGS e WHO e o confinamento proposto em cada país.
Eis-nos de volta! Embora as escolas tenham encerrado por 15 dias e as universidades estejam a funcionar em regime de ensino à distância.
As restantes notícias não são muito animadoras dado que o aquecimento do planeta continua a fazer-se sentir, e os pólos desrretem, apesar dos confinamentos a nível mundial.

Feita esta introdução, falemos do Top de Posts mais lidos 2020. Um ano menos activo devido aos confinamentos, ao mal estar geral da população. Difícil de gerir.
Embora com menos regularidade, continuamos a propor alguns temas relativos ambiente na Antárctida e no Árctico.
Happy Year 2021! Hope all our readers are well. Looking back 2020 we are coming up with a roundup of what's been the best posts of our green blog Geração Polar Portugal.
We are respecting lockdown sinceDecember. Yes, like the most of European countries and all over the world. Not easy to survive without seeing family and friends. And no culture at all. Just some pedestrian randonée near home.
Well, we must face all together this cruel pandemic time, thinking about for better days.
Some bad news. Global warming continues. 2020 was not only the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also the year of intensifying climate change: high temperatures, floods, droughts, storms, wildfires and even locust plagues. Even more worryingly, the world is heading for at least a 3°C temperature rise this century.
"We are facing a devastating pandemic, new heights of global heating, new lows of ecological degradation and new setbacks in our work towards global goals for more equitable, inclusive and sustainable development."
Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, in The State of the Planet
“The last seven years have been the warmest seven years on record, typifying the ongoing and dramatic warming trend,” said GISS Director Gavin Schmidt. “Whether one year is a record or not is not really that important — the important things are long-term trends. With these trends, and as the human impact on the climate increases, we have to expect that records will continue to be broken.”
GISS Director Gavin Schmidt, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)
