I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Let’s do it together.

Bravo, @dananessel.bsky.social! Thrilled that my state is the 11th state to sue Big Oil for the many harms they cause to you and me and everyone else. #climatechange #greentransition

This #extremecold —and the physical and psych. harms it may bring—is brought to you by the intentional burning of #fossilfuels. It’s not an accident that we have these extreme weather events. Govts, billionaires, the oil and gas industry, and corporations know this and should be held accountable.

Regime change in Venezuela, writes M. Gessen, “is a victory for Putin, because it is a blow — quite likely fatal — to the new world order of law, justice and human rights that was heralded in the wake of World War II.”

Nothing in this David Victor essay indicates that there’s any danger in heating the planet over 2C. Instead, he says that slowing decarbonization is good. 🤔 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/o...

Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department “does not do climate change crap.” But a new report suggests that the Pentagon is engaging with the issue in one serious way: Stockpiling dozens of critical minerals, it is threatening the energy transition by hoarding valuable resources.

Democracy is participatory: Vote your beliefs at local/state/fed level. 66% (incl 57% of lib/mod Repub) also support transitioning the US econ to 100%clean energy by 2050. Current administration intentionally going aggressively in the opposite direction. #climate www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ret’d last night from travels incl’g Estonia, part of USSR for 50 yrs. Sobering to see KGB prison cells, Mus of Occupation, & “Soviet Statues Graveyard” that incl’d statues of Stalin. Read @michaelemann.bsky.social’s great book Science Under Seige on way home. Wake/speak/stand up, America. #climate

Climate change makes it all worse. “That breaks down when you are in a world of a changing climate and now … the dice are weighted towards higher flows,” she said.”

Remember how we used to be happy without bazillions of products at our fingertips? Let’s bring that back. “Amazon’s annual emissions have ‘grown roughly 35% since 2019’, despite [its] promise in 2019 to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2040” #blackfriday www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Another key reminder from this talk is that military emissions are not counted or reported. They are estimated at 5.5% of global emissions. What does that say for "net zero"?

Example of why we need the billion-dollar disasters database that Trump & co. got rid of, thankfully brought back to life by @climatecentral.org. Ocean temps along Melissa’s path 800x more likely due to climate change. #hurricanemelissa @zacklabe.com

Bravo for this lawsuit. “…an unprecedented lawsuit in the UK and globally…the first civil claim to directly link polluting companies to deaths and personal injuries that have already happened...” #climatechange #climatedisasters

You’re not alone if you care about what’s happening with climate change. If you’re feeling disheartened because you feel that no one cares, know that 65% of Americans are at least somewhat worried. It often doesn’t feel that way since a similar percentage doesn’t talk about climate, but it’s true!

If you’re a mental health or health professional, it’s critical to learn about climate psych. Join @galesinatra.bsky.social, Susan Clayton, @lesliedavenport.bsky.social, Scott Barstow, and me in this CE from the Am. Psychol. Assoc. on 11/19. Register: apa.content.online/catalog/prod... #climate

Actually, children’s mental health would improve if kids were valued in this country. Therapy isn’t the problem. ➡️ Choose kids over guns. ➡️ Stop destroying nature, so kids can have free play outside. ➡️ Choose kids over fossil fuel addiction. AT A MINIMUM. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Gov’t can’t have it both ways: Either it supports people or it supports oil companies. Those are mutually exclusive categories. Great explainer by @dharna.bsky.social in @us.theguardian.com on @oilchange.bsky.social’s report on fossil fuel subsidies. #climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Energy density" is the newest criteria to selectively halt wind and solar projects. I might know a thing or two about spatial planning, and let me tell you. WE HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO HOST RENEWABLES. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/c...

We are creatures of the natural world—we evolved within it, we’re part of it, we’re bonded with it in mutual belonging in the dance of life. Here’s to our beloved places that make us whole. #nature #ecopsychology #greensky

It’s painful to lose a therapist, but it’s made better when the therapist has made plans for such circumstances, as I learned when my own therapist handled it all with candor and grace. Thanks to @ellenbarry.bsky.social at @nytimes.com for writing this important piece and for including me.

65% of Americans are at least somewhat worried about climate change—worries that are based on facts. Trump-EPA’s plan reflects an administration/leader in thrall to fossil fuel money and w/ no qualms about causing suffering. Sadism loves power and has no empathy. #climatechange #globalwarming

Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events. Read more from the @media-climate.bsky.social here: mecco.colorado.edu/summaries/is...

We’re embedded in a system that makes us reliant on fossil fuels even as we grieve the devastating deaths in Texas. It’s a lot to hold and to handle. I wrote my second Substack about it, and I hope you’ll check it out. #climatedisaster #climateanxiety #texasfloods open.substack.com/pub/humanity...

Honoring our anxiety, grief, and other feelings about climate change is key. Join in community with others for collective action, ground yourself by caring for the planet where you are, and talk about it all. Glad to be part of this article in ABC News. abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wi...

It makes sense if you’re concerned, worried, and sad about climate change: It means you’re paying attention and you care. How do we handle those feelings and find our power? I and others talked about it with @apnews.com. apnews.com/article/clim... #climateanxiety #climatechange #nature

Another horrific outcome of climate change. Great reporting by @ninalakhani.bsky.social in The Guardian. #climatedisasters #lahaina

I was honored to talk with @newsdecoder.bsky.social for their podcast and for this article. On this Earth Day, as on every day, let’s take care of our home and take care of each other. 🌎🌱☀️ #earthday #climateanxiety #climatecrisis

100% yes to “the ‘hereness’ of this particular ailing planet, to these frail bodies, to the right to live in dignity wherever on the planet we are.” Important article by @astra.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social on climate, Covid, and AI—and everything going down these days. #climatecrisis

The irony of having to use gas generators in ice storm disasters here in Michigan is painful, given that scientists (article in comments) say events like this could be due to global warming. #climatecrisis www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...
