Every year, 340 million birds are killed on roads in the US. 335,000 European hedgehogs (刺猬) are killed on roads in the UK. When driving down most highways and sometimes also on roadways in cities, animals are hit by cars or other vehicles (车辆) by accident.

A recent study showed, for the first time, the fast-developing road network is badly influencing on animals in cities in China. Li Zhongqiu and his team from Nanjing University looked at the problem and started the research. First, they chose Nanjing as the study subject. A total of nine roads were chosen for the research, including three national highways, with over 224.27 kilometers long. Then the researchers kept an eye on the roads every two weeks over a year. The team recorded a total of 293 road kill cases. Birds made up nearly half the total. Cats, dogs and blackbirds were the three most commonly killed animals. "This may be due to the large number of homeless cats and dogs in cities," Li said. Also, there are usually a large number of blackbirds in eastern China, and they can be attracted by flies or other insects, leading to further accidents.

Roadkill happens more often in November and January, the team found. This may be due to the fact that some warm-blooded animals have to go out and search for food during these times when food is harder to find. The researchers call on policymakers to develop some traffic and animal protection rules, such as speed limits and traffic controls. And they think to build special roads for animals is a good way. These are four "life passages" for animals used in some countries.

Warming temperatures and shorter winters might sound like the end of snow days. However, rising temperatures may actually cause snowstorms to drop more snow, says David Robinson. He is a professor at a university in New Jersey. He studies climate (气候) change. 

Temperature change is one of the greatest in Earth's climate change over a long period of time. It can happen naturally or because of human activities, such as burning gas and coal. Burning these fuels produces carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and other pollutants into the atmosphere (大气层) , which hold heat in the atmosphere, leading to warmer global temperatures over time. 

But how could warmer temperatures lead to more snow? "To get snow, you need moisture (水汽) and freezing temperatures (0℃ or less) ", says Robinson. Without moisture in the air, there is no precipitation (rain or snow) . Robinson says there are signs that snowstorms are becoming stronger. This is because of this connection between moisture and precipitation. 

"The warmer the air becomes, the more moisture it holds. So, if it's warming and still cold enough to snow, you can get more snow," Robinson says. 

Of the 10 biggest snowfalls in D. C. region, five happened in the past 25 years, according to the NWS. During that same time period, average winter temperatures in D. C. increased. In 1996, the average winter temperature was 1. 8℃. In 2020, it was 6℃. 

Weather experts suggest that rising temperatures may make winter shorter and less cold. But for now, the snow is still falling. One day, winter might not have any days below the freezing temperature. Once temperatures stay above freezing, snowstorms become rain. Until then, we might continue to see strong storms. 

According to Robinson, that time could come sooner than we think. He says, "When we look back, years from now, we may see that this was the breaking point. "
