I stopped eating red meat in 1978, for many reasons. (It was a great decision.) New research shows that folks like me—US red meat abstainers—are much more likely to be very worried about the climate too. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @isbnpa.bsky.social @elissaepel.bsky.social

This risk—now this reality— was clearly foreseen 20 years ago when in first started working on climate change, and warnings were given— but no one wanted to hear them and some fought to belittle the Cassandras. So many Americans are now trapped in a terrible position as a result.

More senseless destruction from America’s Arsonist-in-Chief. The cost of this destruction is higher utility bills, more air pollution, and Making America Unhealthier Again.

It is so refreshing to hear these truths, which should be self evident but have somehow been forgotten by many.

Instead of firing 300 journalists, the Washington Post should fire the executives who approved the endorsement of Bondi. In the meantime, if you want to support the pro-democracy outlet that understood the threat from the start, subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Hazzah! A Bowl for the rest of us.

More senseless destruction unleashed by America’s Arsonist-in-Chief.

Solar energy is a solution to one of the world’s biggest public health killers: Air pollution. I’m so glad the judge saw through the deception being perpetrated on the good people of Michigan.

A major new bill in California would allow the state attorney general to sue oil and gas companies to pay for rising insurance costs from climate-fueled disasters: www.latimes.com/business/sto...

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

Winter Olympics start tonight! I wrote about Jacquie Pierri, a women's hockey player who is also a sustainable energy engineer and vocal climate advocate when she's not winning championships around the world. Such a badass. You need to hear her story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jacquie-pi...

Polluters must pay, especially those who have lied about it for decades so they can continue to overheat the planet with reckless abandon.

Impeach Kennedy, before more children die needlessly.

Despicable. Trump's so-called DOJ and EPA (neither of which is aptly named anymore) are basically letting corporate polluters do whatever they want. Who pays the price for such intransigence? The health of all Americans, that's who.

Note to self: Rule this out as a travel option for my dogs and their humans.

100%! And perhaps a podium for teens too (to call BS when necessary on adult presenters).

Do data centers harm people's health? Given the proliferation of data centers across VA, the US & world, it's an important yet unanswered question. In this paper, @ngour.bsky.social, @lortizuriarte.bsky.social & I examine the possibilities. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @georgemasonu.bsky.social

And now for something completely different…

Racist imagery has a long, ugly history. Posting a video portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes is a deliberate act of dehumanization—and it tells us exactly who Donald Trump is. #BlueSky #PoliSly #LawSky

This is not the end of the fossil fuel era, but it is a clear sign that the end is approaching. Let's work harder to bring it home, now. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Hawk kisses chicken! A bright spot in my day was watching former GOP Congressman — and active Climate Hawk — Bob Inglis kiss a chicken in a show of appreciation for his fellow conservative Americans who donated to his climate education initiative, republicEn. @mason4c.bsky.social

100%! The IOC should ban advertising by fossil fuel companies at the Winter and Summer Olympics. Burning fossil fuels is making winters too warm for winter sports (no snow) and summers too hot for outdoor events to be safe for athletes and spectators. @gchalliance.bsky.social

I'm so proud of what my @docsforclimate.bsky.social colleagues accomplished last year, and so grateful they continue to press onward & upward despite ferocious headwinds created by the poisonous US political environment. My hat is off to them. 🎩 @mason4c.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

Hey, musical friends: Can you compose a tune to support these lyrics by @subletteweather.com? Something that even tone deaf folks like me can belt out please. 😇 @revkin.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @raffic.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

Bottom line: Air pollution is a potent brain poison (aka neurotoxin). Let’s use our brains & mouths to demand that government leaders make air pollution & fossil fuels a thing of the past. Clean energy now, for health! @momscleanairforce.org @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

Winters in Cortina--site of this year's winter Olympics--have warmed more than 6 degrees during my lifetime (ish)

Rapidly scaling up clean energy & phasing out fossil fuels are highly effective ways to improve the health of nearly everyone alive today. We can make that happen. For inspiration, listen to what makes former GOP Senate Majority Leader @bfrist.bsky.social hopeful. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

I often say: Air pollution is the world's leading preventable cause of death and ill health. I also often say: The immediate and long-term health benefits of clean energy are profound. But enough about what I say...listen to what Dr. @bfrist.bsky.social (former GOP Senate Majority Leader) says...

Happy birthday Rosa Parks! And a big shout out to @wmata.com for honoring her in such an apt way.

Such a worthy winner of this week’s Profile in Awfulness.

Bravo to billionaires willing to speak the truth publicly about how the Trump family is fleecing America.

“The (Trump) administration is trying to pull the wool over Americans’ eyes, claiming that they care about our health, that they care about kids’ health, when in reality, they are moving so aggressively to eliminate dozens of (public health) safeguards. It’s really been heartbreaking to watch.”

“(Nonviolence) is not merely eschewing violence. It doesn’t mean we are silent or we are not angry. (N)onviolent protest means…we understand who we are fighting. We know that nothing will reveal who they are more clearly than the contrast between their actions and ours.” @roxanegay.bsky.social

Hey kids, I’m Coalie. Come mine with me. DOH!

Evidence-based medicine and public health is so last year. The new thing is ideology-based evidence about medicine and public health. Heaven help us.

People often fake being nice, but most people don’t fake being mean. So if they are mean, believe them.

Worth repeating... - Fossil fuel $$ fuels authoritarianism. - Big Oil funds anti-protest laws nationwide. - Big Oil has long called environmentalists "domestic terrorists." - Dismantling policies to limit climate change is state violence. - Democracy is infrastructure for climate action.

I agree that federal leadership is needed to address the water crisis in the west, however I don’t trust the current federal leadership to be honest brokers in producing a fair compromise. Perhaps Canada would be willing to send us an ace mediator.

On Feb 10, join my colleagues for a press briefing and discussion about our latest Climate Change in the American Mind survey findings. It promises to be lively. @mason4c.bsky.social @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social @coveringclimatenow.org @newrepublic.com @georgemasonu.bsky.social

For any of you who would like to sharpen up your understanding of the genetic (heritable), behavioral, and environmental causes of disease and premature death, I recommend reading this brief essay. To improve public health, we should pay more attention to preventing environmental causes.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You realize, don't you, that many people out there voted for Donald Trump to "keep big government off our backs."
