Spatiotemporal Analysis of Extreme Winter Temperatures in Ireland
1 Introduction The frequency and intensity of extremely cold temperatures have decreased globally since 1950, with this trend expected to continue as global mean temperatures rise (IPCC 2021, Chapter 11). Winter temperatures have been particularly warming in the northern mid-latitudes (Matthes et al. 2015; Van Oldenborgh et al. 2019).
From Archives to Insights: Extreme Weather Events and Socio‐Economic Impacts in Madagascar From Newly Digitised Historical Climate Records (1949-1966) - Noone - International Journal of Climatology - Wiley Online Library
1 Introduction Most existing digitised climate data primarily consist of records from the mid-20th century onward (Chimani et al. 2022; Noone et al. 2021; Brönnimann et al. 2018; WMO 2016; Brunet and Jones 2011; Allan et al. 2011). Prior to this period, many of the digitally available station records are of poor quality, incomplete or have a limited range of observed variables (Noone et al. 2021; Cram et al. 2015; Rennie et al. 2014; Schneider et al. 2013).
Are hot Irish days worsening due to climate change?
Analysis: A climate attribution study has found that last month's mini-heatwave can be linked to human-influenced climate change By Claire Bergin and Peter Thorne, Maynooth University While the two day "mini-heatwave" of mid-July was a pleasant surprise for some, it posed the question if hot Irish days are worsening due to climate change.
Real Estate team advises Arden Cross Limited on master development agreement with Muse Places
Our Real Estate team has advised Arden Cross Limited – the consortium behind the £3.2 billion, mixed-use commercial and residential destination – on its master development agreement with national developer, Muse Places. The scheme – located near Birmingham Airport – will supercharge growth in the West Midlands, with the HS2 Interchange station at its heart.
Exposure to structurally unique β‐d‐glucans differentially affects inflammatory responses in male mouse lungs
1 INTRODUCTION Damp and moldy environments are known contributors to respiratory pathology, including allergic asthma, in children and adults (Andrae et al., 1988; Cuijpers et al., 1995; Laney et al., 2009; Waegemaekers et al., 1989). For example, increased exposure to fungal cell wall material, β-d-glucan (BDG), is negatively associated with FEV1 and increases the risk of emergency/urgent care visits in asthmatics by nearly nine-fold in children (Blatter et al., 2014).
Fires Burning Across Canada Are Already Impacting U.S. Air Quality
Global Warming Means More Fires Hotter, drier conditions, coupled with dry grasses and underbrush that accumulated over decades of fire suppression, have made large wildfires more common. Smoke from wildfires in western Canada led to air quality warnings across parts of the northern U.S. on May 13, 2024. Red dots indicate unhealthy air, orange is unhealthy for sensitive groups, and yellow indicates moderate risk. AirNow.gov In short, people will need to learn to live with wildfire smoke.
Wildfire smoke is back
Dozens of wildfires are burning across Canada this month and sending unhealthy smoke blowing into the northern U.S. At the same time, the southeastern U.S. is getting smoke from Mexico, where drought conditions have been fueling fires.

Fires burning across Canada are already triggering US air quality alerts in the Midwest and plains
Dozens of wildfires are burning across Canada in May 2024 and sending unhealthy smoke blowing into the northern U.S. again. At the same time, the southeastern U.S. is getting smoke from Mexico, where drought conditions have been fueling fires. Last year, Canada's record 2023 wildfire season introduced millions of Americans across the Midwest and northeastern states to the health hazards of wildfire smoke, with air quality alerts that reached levels never seen there before.

What role did climate change play in Midleton flooding last year?
Analysis: Ireland's first ever attribution study has unpicked the causes of the Co Cork town's Storm Babet flooding and its possible links to climate change By Ben Clarke, Imperial College London and Peter Thorne, Maynooth University In mid-October 2023, Storm Babet brought devastating rainfall to southern Ireland. Over two days, more than 100 mm of rainfall fell in Midleton, Co Cork - the equivalent of a month's worth of rainfall in the town.

Identification of PCB congeners and their thresholds associated with diabetes using decision tree analysis - Scientific Reports
Abstract Few studies have investigated the potential combined effects of multiple PCB congeners on diabetes. To address this gap, we used data from 1244 adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2004. We used (1) classification trees to identify serum PCB congeners and their thresholds associated with diabetes; and (2) logistic regression to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of diabetes with combined PCB congeners.
(1->3)-β-D-glucan derivatives with unique structural properties differentially affect murine lung inflammation and histology.
Abstract Background: B-D-glucan (BDG) compounds are proinflammatory fungal cell wall polysaccharides known to cause respiratory pathology. However, the specific immunological effect of unique BDG structures on pulmonary inflammation is understudied. We sought to characterize the effect of four unique fungal BDGs with unique branching patterns, solubility, molecular weights and higher order structure in murine airways.

The summer of wildfire smoke was only the beginning
(The Conversation) – Canada’s seemingly endless wildfires in 2023 introduced millions of people across North America to the health hazards of wildfire smoke. While Western states have contended with smoky fire seasons for years, the air quality alerts across the U.S. Midwest and Northeast this summer reached levels never seen there before. The smoke left the air so unhealthy in Philadelphia on June 7, 2023, that the Phillies-Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball game was postponed.
