Research on what wildfire smoke does to a body is in its infancy, but clues from past events are haunting. Worst effects may take time to appear. The number of people exposed to smoke is rising fast. America isn't ready for this public health nightmare. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

1. This is a thread about why Food Waste is so often, and wrongly, identified as the major problem with the food system. Yes, it's an issue, but in the rich world, it's far smaller than many others. It’s massively over-emphasised, while other, far more important problems, are ignored and avoided. 🧵

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing.
Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space.
The cameras are staying on!

SCOOP: On his second day as HHS secretary, RFK Jr., the onetime environmentalist, killed climate change programs at NIH that research and prepare for the health effects of extreme weather and a warming planet. This is not going to make Americans healthy.

So you're an economic populist, but due to some marginal uptick in traffic at generally predictable hours on your local arterial roads, you're now a casual segregationist. Got it, thanks suburbia!
