NEW: Mass heat mortality events are coming. In our new preprint, we project tens of thousands of deaths per week in Europe, if the weather patterns that produced heat waves historically happen again at future -- or even current -- global temperatures.

Great to see our community open access studies linked by major newspapers. Here link to study by @gouwlab.bsky.social and colleagues in the NYTimes on hazards after the fires are extinguished.
Far From the Fires, the Deadly Risks of Smoke Are Intensifying
Researchers see a growing health danger from the vast plumes of pollution spawned by wildfires like the ones devastating Los Angeles.

Really nice data-driven explainer of recent causes of global warming from @hausfath.bsky.social www.theclimatebrink.com/p/exploring-...
Exploring the drivers of modern global warming
By using a simple climate model, we can disentangle greenhouse gases, aerosols, and natural forcings.

Also, here's another article, where we evaluated how well low-cost air quality sensors performed in a mobile setting. This field campaign went wrong in so many different ways, initially. It was wonderful to work with the team we did and finally pull this off: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

New @SciReports study analyzes ambient air pollution exposure across villages & urban blocks in India and finds that caste, religion & poverty are all important risk factors - but may operate differently in rural & urban areas. Read: bit.ly/48GQbP0
