SPECIAL REPORT: The doctor’s diagnosis: Child abuse. It wasn’t — but CPS took the baby anyway.

An investigation by @NBCNews and @HoustonChron:
nbcnews.to/2AtapwW (1/12)
@HoustonChron The investigation reveals a legal and medical system that sometimes struggles to differentiate accidental injuries from abuse, particularly in cases involving children too young to describe what happened to them. (2/12)
@HoustonChron Physicians intent on protecting the most vulnerable in some instances have overstated the reliability of their findings, using terms such as “100 percent” and “certain” to describe conclusions that usually cannot be proven with absolute confidence. (3/12)

I was utterly floored by an email yesterday. A 12 year old boy wrote to ask "what can my generation do to convince the politicians to act on climate change and get our country off fossil fuels?"

I'm looking for advice from Twitter to give him the response he deserves... [1/5]
My thoughts so far (with the help of friends) are:

(1) The fact you're asking these questions and care about them is the most important thing.

(2) Nurture your curiosity and passion. Read up, go to talks, study hard so you have the skills you need to change the future. [2/5]
(3) This will be a marathon, not a sprint. Don't lose your motivation.

(4) Help those around you (family & friends) see the seriousness of this and make changes to their lives. Less meat, less flying, be willing to wear a jumper indoors in winter, walk and cycle more. [3/5]

A hole opens up under Antarctic Thwaites glacier—6 miles long, 1000 ft deep, big enough to fit 2/3 of Manhattan - Scientists say a collapse could trigger a catastrophic rise in global sea levels, flooding coastal cities around the world. by @denisechow
nbcnews.com/mach/science/h…
The discovery is described in a paper published Jan. 30 in the journal Science Advances - researchers expected to see significant loss of ice, but the scale of the void came as a shock.

Here's the study
advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/1/ea…
Maybe @weatherchannel or other news outlets can use the green screen flood simulation to show how coastal cities will be impacted (NYC financial markets anyone?) to get more attention paid to the dire impacts of climate change

The western US has been on fire for weeks, with unbreathable air confining people to their homes and keeping some from getting out on a bike. In other parts of the world it’s straight-up car pollution doing the same. We’re going to CLEAR THE AIR with #bikeschool #bikes4climate.
We’re heading toward Global #ClimateAction Week so you’ll see that hashtag + #bikes4climate tonight along with #bikeschool.
My hot take: Too many discussions under headlines with words like #sustainability or #climate or #green ignore bikes as clean transport.
****Q1: How have forest fires, pollution, other air quality issues affected your bicycling? Fun fact (h/t @andrealearned): Bikes invented as tool due to volcano eruption pollution. See buff.ly/2LEP6vi by @lloydalter. #bikeschool #bikes4climate #ClimateAction #bikehistory
