Oh my gosh this stuff is perfect. Get ya some, Canada 🇨🇦. #notjustforhippies @gbgranolaco

Be like this guy, pausing to fist-bump the trainer:

The Antarctic ozone hole won't disappear until ~2060-2075, but it's not growing thanks to the Montreal Protocol phasing out ozone-depleting substances. There's a chance recovering from CO₂ emissions will take a similar path but will take much much longer. ozonewatch.gsfc.nasa.gov/meteorology/...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

I cancelled my prime membership today after seeing this.

Cancelled my amazon prime subscription after learning from friends they’re selling anti-canadian stuff. I’d rather watch paint dry.

Two $5,000 scholarships and two $2,500 scholarships are available to assist First Nations students with post-secondary education costs this year. Until our government leaders make it free: fncaringsociety.com/awards-schol...

My heart goes out to all the people who started driving electric cars to try to help the earth who woke up this morning and had to think “crap, now im driving a nazi car.”

In conclusion, stop making new viruses in labs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Howww did it take me so long to discover this hepa filter side benefit

On the isle of Jersey, bloodletting is recommended for residents contaminated with dangerous #PFAS chemicals in their drinking water: “I just want this out of my body. I don’t want to end up with bladder cancer." @leanahosea @rachsalv @guardian www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/moving-awa...

Okay but Science tells us lots of things www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....

Latvia (pop. 1.9 M) has installed CO2 sensors in 14,000 classrooms to monitor indoor air quality in real time. Measurements are freely available at co2.mesh.lv/home/dashboard. A tremendous effort in transparency and prevention. Other similar initiatives: letsair.org#early

Your child is not sick from lack of exposure to sickness. They do not have immunity debt. Your child born after lockdowns does not have intergenerational immunity debt. The immunity debt that your child’s mother never had was not passed on to them via her mitochondria…

Good paper from colleagues @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social @kprather.bsky.social @jvipondmd.bsky.social @mark-ungrin.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ooo just saw this it’s good

just insane. Reviewing a paper on covid in Canada that finds an 11-fold increase in risk of hospitalization in the month after infection. Just absolutely bonkers. I've been doing respiratory virus epi for a long time, and we really don't trade in statistics like "relative risk = 11"

omg a student somehow accidentally wrote an email addressed to a faculty-wide NYU listserv and my inbox is now a master class on who understands the difference between a listserv and an email chain

Rewatching Lord of the Rings. Frodo Baggins was too much even before he had the ring.

But I don’t want to be the 51st state😭

Went to Costco for the third time that place is just a small city with a Walk Score of 100 put apartments in it already.

“Though restricting some vehicle access to the city may seem like a bold move akin to the controversial congestion fee, it is just the latest in a series of steps that Paris has taken toward having less gridlocked, more ‘complete,’ as Toronto would say, streets” www.blogto.com/city/2024/12...

My son has played in a soccer league where every time - every single time - the winner of the championship is the team that gels the best and is the most positive and encouraging. It’s the team with the motivating, selfless, build-you-up glue guys. Every time. Build your teams around those people.

A team explored the ocean depths, touching the bottom at almost 11,000 feet deep. Where the first thing they saw was….a beer bottle.

One time when I was really tired I poured orange juice on my cheerios instead of milk. That was “deeply regrettable”. This is something else.

I shared about my 28,000 unread emails in a group chat and immediately got a job offer. We don’t have to hide anymore.

IMPORTANT: Finland is building the world’s largest heat pump to warm homes in Helsinki. It would decarbonize the city’s district heating system by end of 2026. “Helsinki has set the ambitious goal to become carbon neutral by 2030, and transitioning our heating system is crucial to achieving this.”

🌬️ Clean #electricity is critical to powering the new #energy economy. B.C.’s approval of 9 new wind projects shows the province is setting itself up for continued leadership in #CleanEnergy, meeting rising demand while striving for #NetZero.

[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.

So I cleaned out my mail finally, and it’s a bunch of bs - I feel Way more pressure to read that 1 message than I ever did any of the 28,000 I used to have sitting there. Don’t be fooled by these clean-out-your-inbox people.

Way more N95s at work than I’m used to seeing.

BREAKING: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain’s constitution so they “can never be undone.”

Yesterday at work I overheard the name of one of my campers from 23 years ago and it turned out he was the doctor on and as he was coming out of a room I ran and hugged him and he hugged me back and I called out “Oh everybody in here’s got a good doctor tonight!!” and it was amazing camp is amazing.
