It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

Nothing about this is pro-life - this is forced birth. A person should not be forced to risk their life to carry a pregnancy. Pregnancy inherently has risks in every case. And people seek abortion care for terrible circumstances that you could never imagine. 5/

The average amount of debt forgiveness to businesses receiving PPP loans: $95,700. If we could afford to cancel hundreds of billions in PPP loans to business owners in their time of need, please do not tell me we can't afford to cancel all student debt for 45 million Americans.
Climate change isn't just more floods, fires, storms, droughts, and heat waves. It's the ripples those set off - food prices, housing availability, supply chain disruptions, the solvency of insurance programs, the trauma of first responders, the impacts on local tax bases.
Hey folks! Are you upset about the recent attacks on trans folk and want to do something to help? I’ve got good news! There’s something relatively easy you can do that would help a lot right now, and it doesn’t require you to put your phone down!
A baseline goal for a city's climate plan: that there are enough homes for all its residents, and that every home will remain insurable as the impacts of the planetary crisis worsen fast. In most places, this means large-scale building, ruggedization, and some triage/retreat.

H5N1: No new cattle herds have been confirmed since 4/19. We absolutely need data on how many tests are being run, by state.
It would be good if samples, perhaps environmental samples, could be collected from that farm to directly test these hypotheses.
If correct, this drives the cattle H5N1 lineage even further back than we had thought, though we may not see the date of the bird to cattle cross-species transmission event change much.
Each lineage accumulated distinct genomic mutations over the last 5 million years. The mutations in humans led to adaptions (like huge and powerful brains) that gave humans a big advantage over chimps. There are now billions of humans, and only a few hundred thousand chimps.
One last thing - this suggests, but does not prove, that the common ancestor of both the main, and putative minor, bovine H5N1 lineages existed in Texas.
I believe the combined evidence (especially that this person likely became infected from cattle) points strongly in favour of the hypothesis that the human virus and the current sample of cattle virus are descendents of a single jump of H5N1 from birds into cattle.
The predessor population eventually split into two separate lineages: one that led to chimps, the other to humans.
was not sampled until March. So it can't be a predessor. Let's use humans and chimps to illustrate. Both chimps and humans exist in the present. Their predessor existed some 5 million years ago, and was neither a chimp nor a human.
My colleagues and I preliminarily estimate that the viruses sampled to date, and pictured in the phylogenetic (evolutionary) tree at the top of this thread, had a common ancestor (in cattle) that existed in December or January. The human virus in the Texas farm worker...
“It’s basically too distant a cousin to be connected directly to this outbreak, which either means it’s a second spillover or there was an early bifurcation of the cattle sequences,” Peacock said. <End text from Helen's article:>
The differences suggest that the individual was either infected in a separate event — maybe not via a cow, but through contact with infected wild birds — or that there might have been another line of viruses in cattle early on and it has since died out.
We need to talk about that human case of H5N1 in Texas... Here is a bootstrapped (NJ) tree showing how the closest realtive of H5N1 sampled in cattle is a virus the infected an male individual who reportedly worked on a farm with cattle (dairy, I believe).
Great to see our work helping inform this piece about the potential for climate- driven spread of Aedes transmitted dengue (@ColinJCarlson @Lrjohnson0 @morde) @FLClimateInst @UF_EPI @UFGeog
Modelling suggests that, on current trends of climate change, Aedes mosquitos will spread into large parts of southern Europe and the United States, putting another 2bn people at risk of getting dengue fever. The world must prepare econ.st/4aOV88Z 👇
So cool! A note that this takes you to the “leader” article. Our map is reproduced in the main, in depth article! 😁

FDA announces no infectious #H5N1 was found in PCR positive milk. They used the “gold standard” egg inoculation tests that many have been waiting for. Together with NIAID grantee studies and past publications, it’s pretty conclusive the milk is safe. fda.gov/food/alerts-ad…
One of the primary responsibilities of public health is disease surveillance. Recently, avian influenza was found to have jump from a mammal (dairy cattle) to a human (a dairy worker). Public health’s job is to track if this jump is a one off or a trend.
We are tipping many tipping points.
