Italy is most at risk in Europe for heat-related deaths because of both stronger ageing and stronger warming doi.org/10.1016/S2468-2667(2…

WOW. Cervical cancer vanishing among HPV-vaccinated cohorts in 🇩🇰.
First cohorts to be offered #HPVvaccine (in late 2008) corresponds to the 25-29 age group in 2021. #VaccinesWork
Will be interesting to follow effect on younger cohorts, affected by negative #dkmedier coverage.

HPV vaccine uptake declined substantially after negative media coverage.
Recovery has been slow and costly... Sadly 26,000 fewer vaccinated girl (march 1, 2019).

Are your kids spending a lot of their holiday online?
Virtual worlds can boost children’s creativity, motivation to learn & even help them heal
But they also pose a privacy threat & exposure to harmful and illegal content
How can we protect them?

As #climate shocks begin to cascade we are headed for some very difficult times ahead.
A resurgent #FarRight dividing our communities will add massively to this, futher undermining resilience - and creating a downwards spiral.
We must urgently invest in community cohesion now!

Diese Grafik* aus einer Fraunhofer-Studie hat zurecht Wirbel gemacht: Sie zeigt für neue regelbare Anlagen, dass eine Kombi von Freiflächen-PV mit Batterien Strom günstiger bereitstellen kann als neue Gas- oder Biomasse-Kraftwerke. Selbst Haushalts-PV Speicher können mithalten.

1/2 Bei Windstille werden pro Nacht ca. 180 GWh Kohlestrom benötigt, um von einem PV-Tag zum nächsten zu kommen. Um alle Kohlekraftwerke stilllegen zu können, werden demnach 180 GWh Stromspeicher benötigt.
Derzeit kostet 1 GWh 420 Mio. €.
