There have been efforts from some critics to suggest that the @metoffice.gov.uk weather stations are not good enough for monitoring climate change. Here, @edhawkins.org shows that they agree well with multiple independent datasets, providing strong support that they are, in fact, reliable.

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

Heute startet wieder die #Strumflutsaison. Deiche, Sperrwerke u. Co. sind immer noch unverzichtbar, aber brauchen angesichts der vielen Herausforderungen – stärkere Sturmfluten, steigender Meeresspiegel, Küstenerrosion – dringend natürliche Unterstützung. Zauberwort: #NatürlicherKüstenschutz! ✨ 1/3

Portrait und Zitat von Jannis Kuhlmann, BUND-Experte für Meer- & Klimaschutz: "Die natürliche Vielfalt an unseren Küsten ist kein Widerspruch zum technischen Schutz, sondern dessen unverzichtbare Ergänzung für eine nachhaltige und widerstandsfähige Küstenstrategie."
