Top 40 Impacts of Climate Change In this post, I list 78 current and future impacts of climate change, along with references for some of the more unexpected items.  That list was compiled scouring the web along with suggestions and c...

I has been a very long time since I posted this list of 40 consequences of climate change. But, it's important to take note of item number 40.

I truly wish things were going to get better, but sadly, it's all just going to get more f&%ked from here.

Reading the list feels like I’m playing a winning game of Bingo! Very confronting to see all of these concurrent events as a list. We are truly farked.

That’s a really powerful way to show the data

"People think hope is wishful thinking, and actually hope is about action." Quote from the Wiser Than Me podcast with Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

"Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential." Graphic by the Jane Goodall Institute of South Africa.

"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." Graphic by Ariana Huffington on Instagram.

My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

Even with the recent downswing, daily global 2-meter surface temperatures are still running more than 1.5C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline.

Will this continue? The Climate 8-ball is putting on sunscreen.

He’s saying there will be gas shortages on the east coast. We don’t have a shortage of gas!

Concur. It’s a silent avalanche unless actively addressed through strong public good policy … but very unlikely.

Exactly my thoughts. They’re just standing by.

For those keeping track (and who isn't?), the planet is now at day 3 at 1.65C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

While MSM sells outrage 24/7 with Kimmel, Tylenol, Putin, Israel... collapse just doesn't make the cut. Do folks care about the end of everything anymore?

Why your nose could be the perfect window into your mental state Diagnosing mental health conditions like anxiety and depression can be difficult, but it turns out that your nose could help doctors understand when you are feeling the strain, says Gillian Forrester

It can be tricky to objectively diagnose anxiety and depression, but your nose could help doctors understand when you’re feeling the strain, says Gillian Forrester.

You must have been deli-ghted! **Sorry, I’m experiencing peak dad joke potential right now. It just comes out …

🤣

Ah rookie mistake! You just have to go to Files -> Settings -> Options, scroll down to the ‘enshitification’ button and set it to ‘off’.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cool! Some gut microbes make 2-MiCit from propionate. In vitro, it inhibits 3D colon tumor growth (and normal cells at high dose). Just a 'lucky' one among millions of microbial by-products? I haven't thought of any selective advantage 🤔 Thoughts? 🦠🧪 #microsky #microbiomesky doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Gold 🤣

It’s time to make ANU … well … great again!

Host-specific microbiome and genomic signatures in Bifidobacterium reveal co-evolutionary and functional adaptations across diverse animal hosts Bifidobacterium are beneficial members of the microbiota across animal hosts. Kujawska et al. demonstrate that bifidobacteria have likely co-evolved more closely with mammals, particularly primates, a...

The landscape of microbial associations in human cancer Differences between cancer types, infectious disease, and potential prognostic markers are uncovered by studying microbes within cancer DNA.

TLDR -- most cancers do not have microbiomes...but a few do have consistent microbe associations (i.e., colorectal and oral cancers). Make sense!

Conclusion is spot on the money

X-Mapper 🦠🧬🧪 - a sequence aligner developed for microbes, now on Bioconda! 🚀
• 11–24× fewer suboptimal alignments (same for human genome)
• 3–579× lower inconsistency
• improves on ~30% of reads aligned to non-target species

But this is a rational take on things. Science, rationality, truth have exited the building of humanity …

We need to teach the public what std deviations mean and where the global temps since 2023 sit …

Yep!

I left.

Nice to see scientific justification for the old saying!

🤣 Nice to see you on Bluesky Dr Levi! Thanks to your posts, I now look for metal brushes at BBQs every time and make others aware!

A single exercise session may slow cancer cell growth, new study shows Exercise may not only help prevent cancer but also could fight it at a cellular level.
