“Meteorologists and scientists worldwide rely on NOAA systems and data for weather forecasting and long-term climate predictions. Degrading NOAA will jeopardize the accurate and spatially detailed information that guides weather forecasting agencies around the world.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Free global access to climate and weather data must continue

Last month at the 80th session of the United Nations, the call to be “better together” was especially appropriate for discussions on the Early Warnings for All global initiative. About half the world’...

I was wondering if this was happening. I bet if the sickly felon in the White House succeeds in shutting down mifepristone methotrexate will be harder to get.

I only have trouble staying below 30 kmh when going downhill. I’m making it my default speed whenever I can now.

I figure the landlord’s nose never recovered from COVID. Defiant kid learns to trust their instincts. I was so proud.

My kid had the same thing happen. No one else smelled it but the gas company guy’s tool detected it. It was from their gas stove, probably the recent earthquake giggled the connection and caused the leak. The landlord told them not to call the gas company since he couldn’t smell it.

A massive storm that brought a record storm surge to Alaska was poorly forecast, and “this is one of the clearest possible examples to date where missing upper air soundings due to NWS constraints may have led to a degraded forecast.”

Sunday a massive storm surge event from the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused catastrophic damage in remote western Alaska. Thanks to @alaskawx.bsky.social for his help with this deep dive, including the forecast challenges in an area dealing with reduced NWS upper air soundings

Historic coastal flooding strikes western Alaska

Remnants of Typhoon Halong produce hurricane force winds and push massive storm surge inland in Kuskokwim River Delta, destroying and carrying away homes, leaving devastated communities.

I am pleased that we are following CALIFORNIA department of public health vaccination guidelines. Note: COVID vaccine will be given to 'all those who choose protection'.

As an ICU physician, I advise you to CHOOSE PROTECTION. I've seen too many bad cases.

I keep dreaming that people who buy cars will realize bloated vehicles cost more and kill more.

Don’t get me started about Emergency Physicians!

I ask every kid I do a sport physical on if they use a helmet. Then I ask them where it is right now. (I tell them to park it on the handle bar). Then I ask about seatbelts, booze and condoms.

Please make sure you hire people who understand how respiratory pathogens are transmitted. I still find droplet dogma infecting a lot of health care workers.

We have 4 months to brush up on our 7th grade Spanish. Or buy those apple ear phones that translate for us.

A licensed professional can’t expect to keep their license when treating patients with harmful therapies. Sure, they can say what they want when not treating patients.

I’ve not read the bill but if they increase EV fees by weight of the vehicle maybe that will decrease EV bloat. Of course we need a clean air tax on internal combustion engines, that should get directed to pay for electric busses.

It’s behind a paywall. I really wonder about the methods.

Many things will affect how well a student will do in school. Some you can control, others you can't

One that affects every student (and teacher), and that we can control, is indoor air quality

In this video I walk through how and offer some solutions

We were just discussing this! Maybe a few more wackos will flip.

I was just listening to a shift key podcast about this.
