Travel between Greece’s two largest cities is now impossible, both national rail and the country’s main highway sustaining major damage. In Libya, the same storm has drowned several thousand. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateActionNow #Daniel

True leadership by Austrian physicians
“COVID-19 is not a cold. It is not influenza. It is a systemic, vascular-damaging disease that only spreads via the respiratory route, via aerosols. COVID is neither over, nor is it a harmless infection without consequences.”

🧵 Austrian physicans:
"We CAN’T take responsibility for the constant, unmitigated infection of the population w/ a vascular-damaging, neurotropic virus like SARS-CoV-2, in which a previous infection provides no long-term protection vs future infection.”

This is an important paper in the lancet. I was at a talk by an immunologist on a national committee and he said recovery was common. He was wrong about that. He also said covid depletes and exhausts T cells. I said, "Some people dispute that." He said, "They're wrong."
Out today in @TheLancet:
“Recovery is extremely rare”
“Unfortunately the small chances of recovering from #LongCovid during first 2 years underscore that, as long as SARS-CoV-2 transmissions continue & few people are cured, LC will continue to accumulate”thelancet.com/journals/lanep…

The North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly is still off the chart.
Very little of the 40,000,000 km² is below average.
Except little bits where hurricanes stirred up cold water.
Standard deviation is increasing again:
The Northern Hemisphere is "boiling":

“A large study of people.. has identified two proteins involved in blood clotting, fibrinogen & D-dimer, that are associated with cognitive deficits up to 1 year postinfection.”

Great question from @jdickerson last night that *everyone* should be asking about schools:
"So, Joe, if it's not that hard to do, not super expensive, better health outcomes and better schooling outcomes, what's up, why hasn't this money been spent?"

COVID-19-related premature ovarian insufficiency: case report and literature review
❗Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) as a irreversible LongCovid manifestation!
➡️"There is a strong molecular basis for a possible effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the female reproductive system"
➡️"SARS-CoV-2 infection may cause serious complications that cast a long shadow on a patient’s future life and health"
➡️"Further research is needed to assess the real and possible longterm impact of SARS-CoV-2 infections on the female reproductive health!!
Caution: sadly, I don’t have full access to this article, but to my opinion this information already needed sharing!

The Australian (BOM) model is back at forecasting a 3°C El Niño.
Let's keep hoping this totally off, while preparing for a very strong El Niño, because hope is not a strategy.

For those wondering if this year will see the hottest August on record, here's a little graph to help you anticipate the answer.
After recording the hottest June and hottest month (July), it looks certain we will also have the hottest meteorological summer (Jun. 1 - Aug. 31).

Wow. To artificially inflate an attendance stat, some politicians want to send kids back to school sick, with zero protections in schools such as masks or clean air infrastructure. This is reckless. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/s…

We have oceans of waste. Amazon’s plastic packaging waste alone could encircle the globe 500 times: buff.ly/39H6cqB. We need to do better.
Use less, buy less, waste less.
