Jim Hansen and others precit a temperature rise of 1.7C in 2027
This is broadly in line with UK Met Office projections that point to anything up to 2C in any single year between now and 2030
And a 70% chance of the 5-year average being 1.5C or more

Obvious wavenumber-5 mesovortex pattern within #Melissa’s eyewall earlier today — when the simulation matches reality. Just two decades ago, the very existence of mesovortices was still a matter of debate.

FIP is when an individual cat experiences a mutation of a common feline coronavirus. Until relatively recently the prognosis was pretty horrible but there is a HIGHLY effective treatment available now: www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-...
I adopted a two pack of ginger kittens. The vet suspects one has FIP (a covid) and watching for now. Does anyone have experience getting their cat diagnosed with FIP and / or treatment? Shes definitely a survivor!

#paleoctober2025 day 6 : Ichthyotitan severnensis !
Triassic ichthyosaurs are quite something, having in their ranks some of the biggest marine vertebrates of all time. Althought this one is only known from partial jaw remains, it's estimated to be nearly 25m long.

Nitric oxide from vegetable nitrates, from greens, for instance, not only improves oxygen efficiency, but also oxygen delivery by vasodilation of blood vessels—that is, by opening up our arteries so there’s more blood flow. bit.ly/3joxk0V

New: The link between air pollution and aortic dissection/aneurysm, adds to genetic susceptibility
www.nature.com/articles/s44...
www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Association of air pollution exposure and genetic susceptibility with increased risk of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection - Nature Cardiovascular Research
Ma et al. demonstrate that air pollution is associated with an increased risk of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD), and that genetic susceptibility to TAAD amplifies this risk through multiplicative and additive interactions.
