In many countries, winter months can be especially challenging for air quality.

Cold air traps pollutants close to the ground, while heating, traffic and burning add more smoke and particles to the air we breathe.

But how is air pollution actually measured?

If there is any justice left in America, today will be the beginning of the end of ICE as we know it.

The United States government is disarming and executing people. Are there any foreign leaders that can help us?

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America.

At least until tomorrow.

You have to admit these letters from Trump to foreign governments would actually seem less bizarre if they had been written in crayon

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Being a fan of Charlotte-based professional and college teams can be completely miserable sometimes. I wish I had just one team that was consistently good.

It’s absurd #3 is a question for a meteorology position at the #NWS. Is this legal for a non-partisan federal position? It’s clearly meant to be political.

YOUR FAVORITE WEATHER APP IS JUST A PRETTY DISPLAY OF NOAA DATA

Make that part clear when you ⬇️

Any sort of Reduction In Force to NOAA and NWS, *which is already dealing with short staffing to begin with*, would be absolutely crippling. NOAA and the NWS are vital, full stop.

I do not care if I sound like a broken record with this. We should not have to beg for essential services to survive.
