🌫 Alaska air pollution holds clues for other Arctic climates
Some of the most polluted winter air in the United States can be found in and around Fairbanks, Alaska. The Fairbanks North Star Borough routinely exceeds limits set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for particle pollution that can be inhaled and cause myriad health problems.
Over seven weeks this winter, nearly 50 scientists from the US and Europe descended on Fairbanks to study the sources of air pollution. The researchers are expected to deliver the findings back to the university by late summer. The results will be shared with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Fairbanks’ air quality division and with residents, who will have the chance to weigh in on possible solutions.

Another gem from Kiev: apparently, the Ukrainian National Guard tweeted an infographic claiming that the Eastern European country had been bombed more heavily in 22 days than Syria in the past 5 years. They may have deleted the tweet but the Internet remembers.
ICYMI: The Kiev regime has been deleting a lot lately: just yesterday, the Ukrainian parliament had to take down a tweet comparing Kharkov to Hamburg in Nazi Germany
