Air pollution particles don't just enter your lungs, they attach themselves to red blood cells and move around the whole body.

We don't breathe them out, so pollution accumulates in the body causing organ damage, dementia and more.

Reduce emissions and clear the air.

Not all #tsunamis come from the seafloor, some are triggered by the atmosphere, driven by fast-moving storms and pressure waves, and can strike coasts with little warning.🌊

Alpine areas are heating up faster than the rest of the planet: all the cities that staged the #WinterGames since 1950 have heated up in the years since by an average of 2.7C, according to scientists. That’s well above 1.4C, the warming average for the entire planet www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Sand & dust storms (SDS) are major hazards.

This month, Libya was hit by winds of up to 80 km/h.

Libya’s NMHS issued forecasts & warnings to keep casualties to a minimum.

WMO seeks to strengthen operational forecasting to reduce the impacts of SDS.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

🌡️ WMO confirms 2025 was one of warmest years on record.

2025 was one of the 3 warmest years on record, with the global average surface temperature at 1.44°C ± 0.13°C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of 8 datasets.

During the interwar period (c. 1918-1939) universities were in economic crisis, rising authoritarianism, ideological polarization & global instability. Sound familiar? What did successful academic leaders do? 🧵⬇️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Harvard scientists today announced a study where they were able to piece together that you are much too hard on yourself, trying to fulfill many unreasonable expectations.

You are awesome the way you are. You are loved. You have worth. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Be kind.

NCAR and NOAA have not only served US and Global Atmospheric science through state of the art research but also provided various atmospheric research tools freely for researchers around the world, my own research group has benefitted from many of these, this is a time to acknowledge and support !
