Unlike much of winter so far, our weather looks to become more variable and not as mild as recent weeks.
Don’t expect a settled spell anytime soon but there probably will be some nicer weather mixed in going forward starting with this Saturday... (1/2)
Sweden’s experience with midwives providing abortion care offers lessons for other countries. Swedism midwives have long led care for healthy women during pregnancy and birth, with doctors supporting when complications arise. Applying the same model to abortion care is both logical and effective.

I just gave a global health talk at Johns Hopkins, and one of their students came up afterward to introduce herself. She had taken my global health class at Emory, and she said that's what made her go into the field.

I’m seeing a ❄️ risk in our region Friday evening / early Saturday. Namely in showers.
Models have increased depth of cold air, certainly sufficient for falling snow to low levels further southeast with air flow I’d expect North Sea convection. Not the biggest window ~12 hours but one nonetheless.
64 was the original official death toll for Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria. It was later revised to 2,975.

A record breaking run of sunless days for Aberdeen (Dyce)..none since Jan 21st..records to 1957 (City of Aberdeen also seen 1.5 times its normal Feb rainfall in just the first 7 days, following wet January)
And at the 'opposite end' of the UK, Exeter Airport has had rain everyday so far this year
Mmm-hmm

Changes are coming!
The area of high pressure rooted to our E/N of late, blocking the Eward progress of Atlantic low pressure systems, & giving the UK & S Europe such unsettled weather, will shift away to the SE this week
Result for UK?.. colder N'ly winds developing by Friday
A change is coming
Mild S'ly based winds for now
Cold N'ly based winds (for a few days atleast) by the end of the week
Thursday!! Morning 🌅

Current economic models miss the mark on climate risks, warning that catastrophic tipping points and extreme weather could crash the global economy, far worse than 2008.
As said many times before delaying action will be far costlier than cutting emissions now.

Sharp division in European temperature this afternoon. A feel of early spring in the air across S UK and France.
After a mild December this winter is becoming very cold in E-NE Europe with no end in sight to strong freeze.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.
