Although future #warming will affect #vegetation, the big draw of this paper is the specific impact on #urban #forests. However, I would take quantitative estimates made with these #models with a grain of salt since they don't provide "true" urban climate signals. [1/n]
The study uses projections from 10 Global Climate Models (#GCMs) over 164 #cities; comparing modeled variables relevant to species survival against baseline values to predict future risk. A big issue is that most of these GCMs do not represent cities in any meaningful way. [2/n]
Several of the GCMs do not have explicit urban land cover or use simplified slab models. The former provides no urban-specific signals and the latter overestimates urban warming. More importantly, around half of the models use versions of the Community Land Model (CLM). [3/n]
🧵1/ Want to know what it takes to launch a #DrugChecking program?
The growing interest has been really exciting. So we wanted to share some tips to help others get started.

2/ But, first what are drug checking programs? These are cutting edge programs grounded in #PublicHealth and #HarmReduction
The purpose is simple: to provide drug testing services to people who use drugs so they can make informed decisions about what they put their body.

3/ To get started, read up on this topic. There is A LOT of useful information about there. A good place to start is @BBCSU. They have some amazing training resources here

O carteiro Marcos Antonio Ambrósio trabalha há 19 anos nos Correios e diariamente desce na estação de trem da Praça Júlio Prestes. Ele caminha até o centro de distribuição, passando pela #Cracolândia.
Infelizmente, ele já está acostumado a ser abordado pelo menos duas vezes por semana por #GCMs. No dia 27 de março aconteceu de novo.
Ao pedir a presença de PMs, Marcos foi agredido e algemado. Chegou a ser levado para o pronto socorro, onde foi ameaçado e novamente agredido.
