I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Inside the Collapse at NIH
Administration officials pressured NIH to avoid clear advice from the agency’s own lawyers to restart grant funding now.

Have we already breached the 1.5°C global warming target?
Although the climate goals set by the Paris Agreement are based on the long-term average temperature, one year of high temperatures might be a sign that the 1.5°C threshold has already been reached

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

2024 may be hotter than 1.5C over pre-industrial temperatures, but that doesn't mean we will have passed the 1.5C target of the Paris Agreement in 2024
this is good information👇
this is good information👇
Passing through 1.5°C will be marked by several milestones
- first year above 1.5°C in one or more datasets
- exceedance of 1.5°C with instantaneous indicators
- confirmation that 1.5°C was exceeded in the 20-year average (as per IPCC)

Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.
