Italy is most at risk in Europe for heat-related deaths because of both stronger ageing and stronger warming https://t.co/BMHUq9vNEr

Problem is, I suspect a lot of those older Italian people are currently online posting climate denying s**t

WOW. Cervical cancer vanishing among HPV-vaccinated cohorts in 🇩🇰.
First cohorts to be offered #HPVvaccine (in late 2008) corresponds to the 25-29 age group in 2021. #VaccinesWork

Will be interesting to follow effect on younger cohorts, affected by negative #dkmedier coverage.

Are your kids spending a lot of their holiday online?

Virtual worlds can boost children’s creativity, motivation to learn & even help them heal

But they also pose a privacy threat & exposure to harmful and illegal content

How can we protect them?

As #climate shocks begin to cascade we are headed for some very difficult times ahead.

A resurgent #FarRight dividing our communities will add massively to this, futher undermining resilience - and creating a downwards spiral.

We must urgently invest in community cohesion now!

Fentanyl is now almost certainly the biggest killer of Americans between the ages of 18 and 49. Economists may have at last found a convincing explanation for the crisis https://t.co/N2kCWPfiuz 👇

Around 2030, the International Space Station project will come to an end. But how do you safely bring down and destroy a 420,000 kilogram object? Here’s NASA's plan, and what could go wrong. https://t.co/4by763UtwX

Diese Grafik* aus einer Fraunhofer-Studie hat zurecht Wirbel gemacht: Sie zeigt für neue regelbare Anlagen, dass eine Kombi von Freiflächen-PV mit Batterien Strom günstiger bereitstellen kann als neue Gas- oder Biomasse-Kraftwerke. Selbst Haushalts-PV + Speicher können mithalten.

1/2 Bei Windstille werden pro Nacht ca. 180 GWh Kohlestrom benötigt, um von einem PV-Tag zum nächsten zu kommen. Um alle Kohlekraftwerke stilllegen zu können, werden demnach 180 GWh Stromspeicher benötigt.
Derzeit kostet 1 GWh 420 Mio. €.
