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. www.bbc.com/news/article...
I inhaled traffic fumes to find out where air pollution goes in my body
BBC health correspondent James Gallagher gets his blood analysed to understand how air pollution is killing us.

MethaneSAT Releases First Global Assessment of Oil and Gas Climate Pollution - Inside Climate News
Nearly a year after the Environmental Defense Fund lost contact with an $88 million satellite, data from the spacecraft reveal higher-than-expected methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

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...
Winter Olympics Faces New Climate Reality
Unpredictable conditions are limiting where it’s physically and financially possible to host the Winter Olympics.

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.🌊 Learn more in @eos.org: buff.ly/aS3Lsxa #NaturalHazards #Oceans #SeaLevel #meteotsunamis @reviewsgeophysics.bsky.social

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. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3NI6GV3
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.
„Fungal #volatiles drive #lifestyle-dependent, systemic metabolic reprogramming in poplar“ Can plant #roots recognise the odours of #fungi? yes, & much more: they can distinguish them & adapt the metabolism of the plant. #PlantScience @andrea.Ghirardo.BSky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
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. 🔗 https://bit.ly/49xpkWP

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? 🧵⬇️
@wcrpclimate.bsky.social APARC releases a landmark report on global atmospheric impacts of the 2022 Hunga volcanic eruption 159 scientists. 21 countries. 3 years. One report. More information here: https://bit.ly/493hOmz #WCRP #APARC #ScienceforAction #HungaEruption
🚨 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.
🌍 The Global Atmosphere Watch Programme provides trusted science and information on air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and other atmospheric constituents that affect our health, climate, and ecosystems. #GAW #WMO #ScienceforAction
Great to see so much support from our community for NCAR.
The Weather and Society Conference 2026, under the WMO’s World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) will take place online from 23–26 February 2026. 🌍 Conference dates: 23–26 Feb. 2026 (Online) 🔗 Registration: https://bit.ly/3LL5cZl

In my experience of serving on national and international science steering committees the best , balanced, well thought and above all most helpful inputs have come from women colleagues 😀, if only more glass ceilings for leadership positions could be smashed for them, we would all do better!
