A hate-driven agenda stoked by politicians & pundits has fuelled violence, intimidation & division. But we know the truth: ❌ Free speech is NOT a cover for hate speech ❌ Inciting hatred is NOT defending freedom ❌ Migration is NOT to blame for political and economic turmoil. It’s a scapegoat.

The invasive #malaria vector Anopheles stephensi has now been detected in another African country - Niger Niger already has a high burden, ranking 3rd globally in malaria deaths. An stephensi was found at one site near Nigerian border. Wider surveillance warranted www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden
A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
