The far-reaching impacts of #wildfiresmoke – and how to protect yourself. Last year smoke from massive fires in Canada blew all the way to New York, resulting in #AirQuality alerts being issued. A great article on the subject..... https://t.co/S2zwuCKIXm

Anyone who has 24 minutes to spare this week, I can very much recommend these three excellent short films presented by @rifish about deep time. Beautifully shot, and delightfully lyrical. I found them strangely calming: https://t.co/5MfXoQ6IMN

"Our analysis allows us for the first time to actually put a number on what Exxon knew - that the burning of their fossil fuel products was going to heat the planet by about 0.2C of warming every decade" - what a scientist behind new findings told me

@chrisbaraniuk @munkeatlooi @redique @_ColinS_ @RosieMestel @Ben_Morris1 @ZariaGorvett Thank you for all your excellent work this year Chris - you've been on quite the journey both personally and professionally. It has been a pleasure and an honour to work with a journalist who cares so deeply about what they do.

Could dinosaur calls have been more like birds than fearsome movie monsters? https://t.co/5xE7DzZmNo
