Europe’s future is built on knowledge.

For 30 years, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) has supported over 150,000 researchers, including 23 Nobel Prize winners.

This programme is built on curiosity, openness and excellence.

Happy birthday MSCA!

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Clear evidence of major stratospheric warming imprinting on troposphere here in early February on latest Euro.

Height rises developing over Greenland & Arctic areas (-NAO/ -AO). With west to east Atlantic systems running out of impetus. Classic signs of major SSW with a rapid response.

Climate vs Weather | Global Weirding
YouTube video by Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe Climate vs Weather | Global Weirding

It's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax?

Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms.

In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall.

That's why I call it Global Weirding!

Why not move it to another part of the world? Latin America or Europe? Or all of it in Canada ( risk of heatwaves higher in Mexico)?
