The Oppressive Heat project is now one year old! And our first paper has just been published Check it out here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... But first, an explainer on what heat inequality means🧵

Destroying Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia is a win for totalitarians everywhere, including those who currently rule the US.

Extreme heat can age you as fast as a smoking habit. A new study shows that exposure to high temperatures adds up to 14 months to older adults' cellular age. grist.org/health/extre... #Health #Wellness #Heat #Aging #Climate

After more than five years of reporting from Cambodia, my time there has been cut short arbitrarily. Immensely grateful to all who helped me and I'm proud of the work myself and my colleagues did for @mongabay.bsky.social and others. Heartbroken to leave behind the country that had become home.

Shocking news that @geraldrflynn.bsky.social - one of Cambodia's most prominent environmental journalists - has been indefinitely banned from the country Others have also been targetted Those who expose illegal logging are being silenced with growing force news.mongabay.com/2025/02/camb...

The data is in. 2024 was the warmest year on record, and probably in the whole of human history – about 1.6°C warmer than the pre-industrial period. More than 1 billion individual thermometer measurements have been condensed into a single vital number. theconversation.com/my-new-dark-...
