Admission: I get ridiculously star struck when in the presence of Mary Robinson. @justinworland.com makes me a bit giddy too. So pleased to hear them and youth climate leaders today at the UN.

Super excited to find Kate Cell of @ucs.org on the UN SDG panel before mine. Strengthening information integrity for climate action is so important! @mason4c.bsky.social

Big utilities are even worse on climate than they were five years ago [via @canarymedia.com]

If tornadoes and increasingly dangerous winds are a threat to your community in Virginia, I encourage you to attend this upcoming summit. @olddominionu.bsky.social @virginiaclimate.bsky.social @the-vcca.bsky.social @cleanvirginia.org @mason4c.bsky.social

If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate. So imagine my nerd delight to get my hands on an incredible new batch of research on climate obstruction. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

75 influential health organisations have already signed our commitment for a #FossilFree Communications. Health professionals are trained to protect life—not partner with those who endanger it. Join us! climateandhealthalliance.org/what-we-do/m...

On Wednesday, at the UN, I'll be explaining why we at @gchalliance.bsky.social are asking all health organizations to stop working with PR and ad agencies that support the fossil fuel industry. We call it the Break the Fossil Influence campaign: climateandhealthalliance.org/what-we-do/m...

I'm so proud of @nationalacademies.org for having rapidly produced this comprehensive report which definitively demonstrates that CLIMATE CHANGE HARMS HUMAN HEALTH--which is the basis of the "Endangerment Finding" that EPA is now looking to eliminate. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Our spring 2025 Climate Change in the American Mind survey found that government corruption is currently American’s #1 concern. Sad but understandable. This article provides a great example of the thriving state of American kleptocracy.

I love seeing Iowa on the cutting-edge of the geothermal energy (aka "clean, healthy, affordable energy") revolution. Let's hope their foresight catches on quickly across the country. @robsandia.bsky.social

Seriously? How can an environmental justice analysis of a proposed power plant fail to consider health harms? The air pollution from burning fossil fuels is one of--if not the--leading preventable causes of death, and it causes countless other forms of ill health. @virginiaclinicians.bsky.social

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

"Ban fossil fuel advertising. Remove lobbyists from negotiations. End subsidies. The science is clear, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s time to treat fossil fuels like Big Tobacco." www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/01/o...

There be dragons (not the friendly kind). Approach with caution, but approach nevertheless. @whitehouse.senate.gov

New research shows the carnage on our health associated with climate change--and related events, like wildfires--continues to mount. Let's turn this ship around and sail to clean energy, clear skies, and better health. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social

As representatives of the world begin to gather in NYC for next week's General Assembly meeting & Climate Week NYC, you might want to read this new report by @unitedhospitalfund.bsky.social on the health impacts of climate change on the health, safety & livelihoods of people in New York.

An important insight from our latest research: "Alarmed" Americans rate global warming as their #1 worry. "Concerned" Americans, however, rate global warming as their #12 worry. Discuss. @mason4c.bsky.social @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social @coveringclimatenow.org @insideclimatenews.org

Fossil fuels harm our health at all stages of life—even before babies are born. This is totally preventable with a switch to clean energy. Let’s get it done, for our health. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @who.int

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Yet another reason I will never live in Florida.

The leaders of Big Oil lie in the shadows and are not household names, yet they manipulate the market, politics and hurt our health with their policies and greed. Don’t like extreme weather = divest investments from fossil fuels Don’t like air pollution = fly less and walk/bike/drive an EV

I'm super excited to be heading to UC Santa Cruz on Tuesday for a discussion about how to make climate change communication more effective in the current hyper-polarized environment that is America. @ucscscicomm.bsky.social @mason4c.bsky.social @erikacheckhayden.bsky.social

Health friends: I recommend that you read this thoughtful meditation on the importance of building our public health initiatives on a foundation of shared values. It resonates deeply with me. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @who.int

Yikes! Typhus too? Another serious climate sensitive disease is making a huge comeback in the US. Let's clean up our energy supplies, transportation options, and food systems so we can protect our loved ones and the climate on which all human life depends. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Every avoidable death is a tragedy. Smoke from Canada’s wildfires killed nine-year-old Carter Vigh – and 82,000 others around the world. #EndFossilFuels. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @fossilfueltreaty.bsky.social

Serenity now!

Insane: US taxpayers subsidize Big Oil to the tune of $31 Billion or more each year.

At least 70% of US households are uninsured or underinsured against floods, yet climate change is rapidly increasing the number and severity of flooding in the US. This doesn’t end well for most people—unless we do something about it now. @lortizuriarte.bsky.social @virginiaclimate.bsky.social

Burning fossil fuels & climate change harms human health in so many ways. This one is particularly heartbreaking in that wildfire fighters put their lives on the line for us and are paying such a dear price. @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @cuclimatehealth.bsky.social

I am gobsmacked: West Point cancels ceremony to honor Tom Hanks as ‘outstanding US citizen.’ The petty vindictive nature of the current POTUS would appear to be virtually boundless.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

Our Mission: To be a nonprofit successor to Climate(.)gov, delivering climate data and information to promote public climate literacy and to equip people to turn knowledge into meaningful conversations and climate-conscious actions. Read more at Climate.us

Trump’s former surgeon general urges president to fire RFK2. I do too.

The convenience of plastic has come at a profound cost of harm to our health, our culture, and our planet. We (government officials, business leaders & ordinary people) can begin to heal these harms by saying no to plastic. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Complete insanity: America and the world face enormous real threats & challenges, yet our nation’s leaders waste their time & taxpayer’s dollars on attacking a university president who is doing a great job strengthening the public university he is responsible for. @aaupmason.bsky.social

“Clean air policies are healthy brain policies.” @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @fossilfueltreaty.bsky.social @who.int

Well done, Ørsted. on.ft.com/47n3Xbs Ørsted sues Trump administration for halting $1.5bn offshore wind project

Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.

Salty? I think acidic is a more apt description of RFK2’s performance in front of Congress today. He is corroding the health of all Americans. Impeachment now!

Sadly, yes, the fix is in. Reality be damned. Trump & Friends prefer to play a deadly game of make believe. Regardless, my hat is off to @andrewdessler.com and the hundreds of other legitimate climate experts who helped pull back the curtain to expose the rigged game.

Exactly how do you mean? 😂 😂😂

I'm delighted to share our recently published research study on the potential to better integrate health policy & climate policy in the US federal government--for the benefit of all Americans, now and in the future. @finejulia6.bsky.social @joshettinger.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

I have just two words for you: Avoid plastics. @shannonosaka.bsky.social @mason4c.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @gchalliance.bsky.social @psr.org @cughnews.bsky.social @who.int
