You hear a lot of people claiming that Nigel Farage gets an undue amount of coverage given the number of MPs in his Reform UK party. I wondered if that was true, so I ran a query against GDELT (Global Database of Events, Language and Tone). GDELT monitors mentions of specific people across broadcast, print, and web news. And…. it is! You often hear this criticism levelled specifically at the BBC, so I did a cut just for that. And it’s true there too. Technical Appendix I used BigQuery and...| Arthur Turrell
Imagining exercise can actually make you stronger – AND it doesn’t matter how old you are. I say this because most previous studies have focused on younger people. But the youngest person in this study was 68.| David R Hamilton PHD
The Pain-Relief Technique You Can Do With Your Eyes Closed This week’s Better You, Backed by Science is about reducing pain – using nothing but your mind. In a fascinating brand new study, people with painful knee arthritis got just as much relief from visualising treatment as from actually receiving it – and the “real” treatment involved ultrasound,… The post The Pain-Relief Technique You Can Do With Your Eyes Closed appeared first on David R Hamilton PHD.| David R Hamilton PHD

The recent IPCC AR6 WGI report summarises the state of knowledge of physical climate science, but the final version of the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) did not include a figure showing a range of indicators of our warming planet.| Climate Lab Book

The figures in the IPCC AR6 WGI SPM are a huge improvement over previous reports. However, one minor quibble is with the lack of observations shown. This brief post makes a figure available which is based on IPCC AR6 WGI SPM Figure 8, but with some observations added to show how global surface temperature and Arctic sea ice area have varied, compared to the model simulations. In my view this is a scientific improvement over the original version.| Climate Lab Book
The Working Group I (WGI) component of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) has been released. One key development since AR5 was the involvement of professional graphic designers in creating the figures for the Summary for Policymakers (SPM). As a result, the graphics are clear and usable, having been user-tested through several design iterations. The data underlying the figures are also openly available.| Climate Lab Book
