June temperatures briefly passed key climate threshold. More spikes expected

Fri, 2023-06-16 10:47 — mike kraft
June temperatures briefly passed key climate threshold. Scientists expect more such spikes Worldwide temperatures briefly exceeded a key warming threshold earlier this month, drawing notice in the scientific community and prompting public chatter that climate change might be accelerating. The mercury has since dipped again, but experts say the brief surge marked a new global heat record for June and indicates more extremes ahead. European researchers said Thursday that the the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time.

FDA advisors endorse using only updated Covid vaccines

Thu, 2023-06-15 17:31 — mike kraft
FDA advisers endorse updating COVID vaccines to target latest omicron strain The COVID-19 vaccines are on track for a big recipe change this fall.

Scientific advisers for the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday said the next round of shots should only include protection against the newest omicron variants that are now dominant worldwide.
