New research shows more than 1.5 million people die each year from air pollution caused by wildfires: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... This supports my thesis that fossil fuels & climate change are the leading preventable cause of death worldwide. @lshtm.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

They will go after Wikipedia. They will go after libraries. They will go after school boards and public extracurricular activities that are anything but sports. They will go after archives. Because knowledge, education, culture, and progressives are all the enemy. Thinking is the enemy.

My response to 99% of the news I’ve seen since Monday:

Great article on #plastics #ocean #pollution www.sehn.org/sehn/2025/1/...

"They’re modeling solidarity. And if we’re going to have a shot at surviving the climate chaos that the 1% has created, we’re gonna need a whole lot more of it." - @franifio.bsky.social for @zeteo.com

The official temperature numbers from NOAA/NCEI will come in soon, but here's a look at how we got through 2024, using one of our gridded datasets. Here's daily average temperature anomalies for the contiguous US, aggregated throughout the 2024 year. #StateOfClimate

And he is not even in office yet!

„Educational videos clarifying policy mechanisms increase support for climate policies; those merely highlighting climate change’s impacts do not.“ socialeconomicslab.org/research/pub...

Just in case you missed the nexus report: www.ipbes.net/nexus/media-... #Biodiversity, #Water, #Food, #Health and #Climate Change need to be tackled together, while current approaches estimated cost is to be at least US$10-25 trillion per year.

Happy new year to friends and colleagues!

International #EpidemicPreparednessDay There is no epidemic preparedness until we make sure Global South countries have access to lifesaving vaccines & medicines www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Millions have been watching 'La Palma' on Netflix, featuring a tsunami washing over the Canary Islands. 🌊 A scenario with much science behind it, given the risk of collapse of a flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

The global tobacco industry is worth around £730 billion /year. Their product has caused >200 MILLION DEATHS in the last 30 years. Harm reduction? Why would they reduce harm? Harm is their business model.

#UHCDay: Why don’t #health advocates unite under this ☔️, whereby everyone everywhere accesses health services without financial hardship? One reason: an overly complex & technical #UHC narrative that doesn’t mobilize & resonate well politically: www.bmj.com/content/387/... @bmj.com

Failure is not an option, remember after a pandemic is before the next one!

Just another reason to speed up the creation of #heatactionplans as suggested by #WHO to protect vulnerable populations. #heat #heatwaves

#Health outcomes at #COP29 www.weforum.org/stories/2024...

What a brilliant idea, and a good chance to stock up over the holidays or give it away as present.

Ein wichtiger Grund #Hitzeaktionspläne zu erstellen, wie empfohlen von der #WHO, um vulnerable Personen zu schützen: Schwangere, Kinder, Alte und Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen. Hitzetote sind silent deaths. Eine Aufgabe für jede Kommune!

Climate models have underestimated this: Vital Atlantic Ocean current is already weakening due to melting ice. Via New Scientist /1 www.newscientist.com/article/2456...

These are the two mission my husband worked on measuring gases 🛰️ in our #atmosphere. They had a scientific colloquium for the 30th anniversary. #NASA allowed them free on board in exchange for the data. Their discovery was too early & not translated into #climate policy! wdc.dlr.de/sensors/cris...

Check extreme weather events in your country and start a conversation what we need to do for our survival. Very useful database. interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-...?

Yessssss! Journal editors and board members let’s do this! Folks on academic org committees! We can make the case to at the very least change the “Your Twitter handle” box on everything to something like “Your social media profile” #commsky I for one would be thrilled by “Share to Bluesky”

This is what most people don’t get, the time. That’s why visuals like this are so helpful!

For those at COP29 please join this event in the UK Pavilion with Brazil and the UK for a discussion on climate resilient health systems, disease threats and surveillance. 930am Baku time 19/11/2024.

This pile of trash we call “civilisation” is burning in the heat of its own furnace. Delhi today has broken the air safety limit by a multiple of 50. Yes. I’ll say it again: 50

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1.872.124! Was late to it, but glad to be here!

University of Oslo is hiring a director for their new Center for Global Sustainability. This looks like a challenging but fabulous opportunity for the right person. Scandinavian language skills required, as well as solid leadership and grants experience. #envhum #envhist

Wir warnen schon lange vor den gesundheitlichen Folgen von #Hitze insbesondere von vulnerablen Gruppen, Kinder, Schwangere, Alte und Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen. Seit 2008 gibt es Empfehlungen der WHO zur Erstellung von #Hitzeplänen jedoch schieben sich Ebenen die Verantwortung zu. Zeit ist jetzt!

Either way, collectively we have to cut #emissions wherever we can. However, we are lacking the ambition of countries individually and collectively and our children will have to pay the price! #AMOC #TippingPoints #climate

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962. “[W]e have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.” 🌱🐋 # HistSTM 🧪🌎 #philsci #philsky #WomeninSTEM

I’m excited to introduce something we’ve been working on for awhile: the first Forbes Sustainability Leaders List, highlighting 50 superstar entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, policymakers and activists who are leading the charge to combat the climate crisis with real, tangible impact. 1/6
