Scientific American supports Kamala Harris.
"#KamalaHarris has plans to improve health, boost the economy and mitigate #ClimateChange. Donald Trump has threats and a dangerous record."
Statement backed, of course, by science.
For John Britt, the constant dust was upsetting, and it triggered his asthma. “It’s hard to breathe,” he said.
Now he and many other low-income tenants have cleaner air, thanks to a pilot project by local groups.

"Regions where people most often reach 100-110 years old are the ones where there’s the most pressure to commit pension fraud, and they also have the worst [birth and death] records [and/or registries]."
Interesting to see if there is follow up beyond the work of a single researcher.

TIL the German word "Dauerregen", the kind of rain that falls incessantly for four days. Not talking about a drizzle.
nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/09/18/op-pa…
I already knew "verzopen", a Dutch colloquial expression for drowned, used in the context of things like a sopping wet cat. In this piece applied to the land that has been thoroughly soaked by that Dauerregen: land that can't absorb another drop of rain.
"Researchers found #ClimateChange aggravated the four days of heavy rainfall that led to deadly #floods in countries from Austria to Romania.
The researchers called for better flood defences, warning systems and disaster-response plans, and warned against continuing to rebuild in flood-prone regions."
“These floods indicate just how costly climate change is becoming.”
