Ah - the little polar bear bats of Japan! These guys are amazing. Hats off (or rather mittens on) to the researchers who discovered these bats in the snow. A remarkable bit of bat lore.

Latest NASA global temperature data.
Earth has never been hotter since Homo sapiens discovered agriculture in the early Holocene. Likely even since 120,000 years ago.
Fossil coal, oil and gas emissions caused it.
We need to stop making it worse.
Yes, we can if we want to. 🧵

Today is One Health Day.

The health of humans, animals and ecosystems are closely interlinked. Changes in these relationships can increase the risk of new human and animal diseases developing and spreading.

#OneHealth is an approach to optimize the health of humans, animals and ecosystems by integrating these fields, rather than keeping them separate https://t.co/hqaOeeiBvV
