They ruined block blast

“I’ve been east of the equator”

We have driven 300 miles North and I’ve remembered what it means to be cold

Map showing the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a summer, fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu area had burned at least 8 times from 1900-2017, and has burned twice now since. Image from Kolden and Abatzoglou (2018): https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/1/2/19

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

Canadian forests are more conducive to high-severity fires in recent decades Canada has experienced more-intense and longer fire seasons with more-frequent uncontrollable wildfires over the past decades. However, the effect of these changes remains unknown. This study identifi...

I remember reading this when the book came out and thinking "Nah, way too pessimistic".

Now the incoming US Health Secretary doesn't think HIV causes AIDS.

Thank you!

This is so cool! Why is it significant that Uranus rotates on its side if direction doesn’t matter in space? Is this relative to its orbit?
