Eventually they ran out of single letters and had to switch to a two-letter code. We are about halfway towards needing a 3-letter code.

Making the message on climate change more local - by @BerkeleyEarth
We talk about global warming (2C, 3C, etc.), but no one lives in the global average; land areas where we live have already warmed nearly 2C.
A new @BerkeleyEarth tool shows exactly how your country has warmed in the past and might warm in the future. berkeleyearth.org/policy-ins…

Anticipating that we’re going to have to make some tough decisions about whether to go to in-person work or send a kid to in-person school in the days ahead, I bought some rapid home COVID test kits. My thoughts on how to use them to make decisions. 1/N
