🌾How does extreme heat change diets of farming families in rural India? 🔥A new #JAERE study finds that when growing-season temperatures spike, crop yields drop and this drives strong undernutrition for many households, especially calories, zinc, thiamine, and niacin. 📊 #JaereFigureFriday 🌎 #EconSky

Six coefficient plots of the effect of temperature on the percentage of households consuming below
80% of the recommended levels of different nutrients. The x-axis contains 10◦F temperature bins from below 70◦F to above 110◦F. The nutrient in Panel A is protein, and no coefficients are statistically significant. The outcome in Panel B is iron, and only the coefficients for the 80 to 90◦F bin (0.14) and the 90 to 100◦F bin (0.16) are statistically significant. The nutrient in Panel C is zinc, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.16 for the 80 to 90◦F bin to 0.25 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel D is thiamine, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.13 for the 70 to 80◦F bin to 0.32 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel E is niacin, and statistically significant coefficients range from 0.13 for the 70 to 80◦F bin to 0.41 for the above 110◦F bin. The nutrient in Panel F is riboflavin, and no coefficients are statistically significant.

🌤️ Our #AI weather forecasting model has been published today in Nature 🤖 🥇the first AI weather model to learn directly from raw environmental observations 🌎 compared to existing AI models it is cheaper to train, uses less carbon and easier to deploy locally www.turing.ac.uk/news/fully-a...

Fully AI driven weather prediction system could start revolution in forecasting

A new AI weather prediction system, Aardvark Weather, can deliver accurate forecasts tens of times faster and using thousands of times less computing power t
