Noted at @LancetCountdown launch by @EJZRobinson66: There is increasing evidence that heat & air pollution combined leads to many more excess deaths than heat or air pollution alone, hinting at large co-benefits for health of reducing air pollution and burning of fossil fuels.
New #R01 🚨The Valvi lab is hiring!🚨 1.Want to do a postdoc fellowship in Environ Epi in a fun and supportive research group? 2.Interested in diabetes/liver disease research using metabolome-genome approaches? If ✅✅, pls contact me! #epitwitter #epistats #postdocposition

Today is #WorldHeartDay 🎉 Our heart health has strong connections to #AirQuality. Long-term exposure to #AirPollution has a substantial impact on human health, including the development of cardiovascular diseases. #CleanAirForAll #PublicHealth

An amazingly clear view of the Pacific Northwest today from space as an intense heat dome overhead inhibits nearly all cloud development over land.

There was not a hurricane in New York City yesterday. There was not a super-storm, either. There was thunder. There was rain. The kind of rain you get on a hotter, wetter planet. And since our infrastructure was built for a different climate, we got this. xitter.gq/WSJ/status/15493497153…
Flooding in New York City turned subway stairwells into waterfalls and roads into rivers as a severe thunderstorm brought chaos to the evening commute #WSJWhatsNow
One reason we pay so little attention to heat waves is that American disaster policy is designed to insure property, not to promote human health or protect life.
I want to make sure everyone has seen this new EPA challenge for strategic communications for heat! The "Let's Talk About Heat Challenge". #communications #climatechange #healthequity lnkd.in/gizuzusg

If you feel powerless to turn the global steering wheel on greenhouse gas emissions, I'll tell you a secret: so do I. But I don't feel powerless to help identify and address the real-world ways that climate change is hurting vulnerable people. And you shouldn't either.

excited for new geostationary aerosol optical depth (AOD) and fire radiative power (FRP) from the future GOES-West 🛰️ - crucial for monitoring western smoke and wildfires 🔥
Liftoff of @NOAA's GOES-T satellite. A weather monitor and environmental observer, this spacecraft will help provide accurate, timely forecasts, and add to the data record of our changing climate:

Today, we released a beta version of the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, a key component in the implementation of @POTUS' historic #Justice40 Initiative that takes a major step toward addressing current and historic environmental injustices. whitehouse.gov/ceq/news-upda…

Land surface temperatures (derived from #Landsat 9's TIRS-2 instrument) on Feb. 7, just before a heat wave hit SoCal. Temps have been 15–20ºF (8°–11°C) above normal this week in many parts of California.
