"If I'm in an air-conditioned house and my neighbor isn't, it doesn't matter what the weather conditions are," reminds @KurtShickman. He spoke with @Marjolster & @ineeshadvs about extreme heat in the Gulf countries. Watch the recording now ➡️ bit.ly/3fTJR0c
The norths "will make landfall" this week.
At least the endtimes will be satisfying to map.
Our calculations have discovered the three 'norths' will combine for the first time in history this week🧭
True north, magnetic north and grid north will combine at a single point - starting at Langton Matravers, a village just west of Swanage #3Norths
Video game reviews these days are like
"This expands on the previous game's complex themes asking how we break the cycle of intergenerational trauma
"Also there's a cool new race to kill."
Let's hope the government legislates as hard to stop extreme weather disruption as they do to stop protest
🚨 BREAKING: ROADS & TUBE STATIONS BLOCKED
⛔️ This morning, flooding caused severe delays on the District, Piccadilly, & Overground.

My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.

Some tough stats to digest in today's @LancetCountdown report, incl that heat related deaths have increased two thirds in over the last 2 decades. bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

"If you think this is not your business, that climate breakdown won't affect you... It is false"
"Insulating buildings is a no-brainer, it benefits everyone. And even this, gov'ts won't do it."

I'm going to do a climate-y #Inktober this year.
Day 1: A gargoyle, overflowing, as downpours get more intense. #inktober2022
#Inktober day 7: trip
As the climate changes people will need to move. But the barriers get higher and higher.
#inktober2022 #inktober2022day7
#Inktober day 8: match
Infinite growth on a finite planet isn't going well so far.
