Incredible interview with @EllaRobertaFdn by @KayBurley:

“Air pollution is linked to everything: cancer, heart disease, dementia, miscarriages […] We need to do something.”

“Children breathe toxic air every day. And we wonder why the NHS is broken. I’m so angry.”

Hunters came together recently for a conference to discuss how to save hunting. Their plan of action? To claim they are a minority ethnic group & need protection under the Equality Act 2010 . Okay what shall we call them - I’ll go first - ‘Barbaric Savages’ @ProtectTheWild_

This is the best thing i've seen today!!

The hidden lifelong legacy of childhood #AirPollution exposure.

New research shows that the damage from air pollution breathed as children may only manifest in adult life.

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits?

The Amazon, a rainforest so vast it’s hard to imagine it’s in danger.
It’s crucial for our planet.

.@WMO reported, according to @CopernicusECMWF, that June was the hottest on record, and the global temperature has been 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era for the 13th month in a row.

What are our adaptation options in a warmer world? #IPCC Findings ➡️ https://t.co/zAMzd12lR7

IPCC climate model projections compared against latest (Berkeley Earth) global temperature observations (via @Hausfath). We're seeing the predicted steady warming.

The warming will continue as long as carbon emissions continue. That's entirely up to us.

Refer to the following on the serious health damage caused by woodsmoke from fire pits,fire places, & backyard burning.
There is lack of awareness of this issue in the community. Health organisations are needed to protect public health against woodsmoke

In the UK progress on #AirPollution
from ammonia reached a standstill in 2005.

A new study finds ammonia from traffic, sewage & waste in cities but agriculture dominates. We need to hear from farmers with the solutions.

Breaking News!

The latest available data from Copernicus (from Feb. 17) just put the planet 1.55°C above the pre-industrial baseline for the last full year (365-day running mean).

Seems like that should be worthy of a mention by some mainstream media, somewhere. Hello?

[Gary Fuller @DrGaryFuller]

Evidence of the impacts of #AirPollution
on brain health have been rapidly coming forward over the last eight to ten years.

Here's another study on #AirPollution from traffic and dementia.
