Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

Feeling exhausted this fall but still want to celebrate all the good things the season brings? We've got a list of simple ideas to make your lead-up to Halloween feel warm, restful and a little eerie.

On the 8th #ShowYourStripes day, a thread on how and why these simple graphics have spread across the world. You can read the story of how the ideas were developed in 2018, involving a blanket and an event at Hay Festival: journals.ametsoc.org/downloadpdf/...

TV weather forecasters (led by Jeff Beraradelli & Climate Central) organised the first event to use the warming stripes widely (June 21st 2018). Laura Tobin used them in the UK. And, a Tesla in Minnesota was a striking early example of how the graphic can be used creatively to spark conversations.

The graphics were used at rock concerts (Enter Shikari), sports teams (Reading FC) and at London Fashion Week (Lucy Tammam). Each time they have reached a different audience who would not normally talk about climate change.

The White Cliffs of Dover have even been lit up with the stripes!

The Tate Modern art museum in London has also been lit up. #ShowYourStripes And, the warming stripes are currently on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York: www.moma.org/magazine/art...

It's already #ShowYourStripes day in many places like New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Papua New Guinea. All these countries are warming rapidly. Visit www.ShowYourStripes.info to find your warming stripes with 4 different designs. Start a climate conversation online or with friends and family?

We cannot forget: the Feb 18 EO likewise grants Trump the exclusive ability to rule on the findings of the EPA and Endangered Species Committee. Not only can he demand increased logging, he can overrule ALL findings and protections.

This is a full-on attack of our nation's forests. This is NOT OK. We can re-hire lost jobs. We can re-write laws. We can re-allocate funds. But a forest, once lost, you and I will never see again.

It's important to take the good along with the bad - and any steps towards criminal justice reform is progress!

This is uncomfortably like the creation of detention camps for Japanese Americans in WWII. We should not need this much infrastructure if the plans are just deportation.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.
