And here in the U.S. you get tax credits for doing so. Google “45Q” and “enhanced oil recovery.”

Every American deserves clear, practical health advice they can use. Today’s conversation focused on two growing risks—extreme heat and tick-borne alpha-gal syndrome—and the simple steps that can make all the difference. Hope you and yours have a safe 4th ahead!

"If scientists align with campaigns that pitch their opponents as anti-science, they should not be surprised if greater polarization is the result." I have some real strong thoughts on this piece. Let's talk about it... 1/? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Trust in science is falling It could be because some scientists act and advocate for science-informed policies Or it could be because neoliberal fundamentalists, oil companies & other destructive industries spent untold billions & many years working to undermine trust in science Who knows 🤷

It's interesting that most people don't seem to know what weather event kills more people every year in the U.S. according to the National Weather Service Here you go...

(2/2) As another potentially historic heatwave sweeps the U.S., we need solutions that match the scale of this inequitable challenge. That means bringing proven protections to the communities that need them most and supporting policies that address the root cause.

(1/2) The record-breaking heat that’s scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change. This is becoming an increasingly common and dangerous reality thanks to fossil fuel emissions.

Repeated heat exposure and dehydration are a dangerous combo for workers. Protecting their health "requires redesigning work policies and practices to match new environmental realities, rather than asking bodies to endure unsafe conditions.”

The ongoing Ebola outbreak centered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most significant Ebola event in years and has become an international public health emergency. 1,270+ confirmed cases, at least 360 confirmed deaths. It’s not just a local crisis, it’s a global health concern. 🧵1/7

Things I never thought I would type: look at how they greeted the Algerian team arriving back at the DoubleTree in Lawrence, Kansas

From a political economy perspective, it’s better to not have folks fighting over scraps, or having some folks perceiving other folks electricity use as bad. So we should do lots of efficiency and at the same time double the grid and make it clean & cheap. Otherwise we won’t electrify.

On this day in 1844, the Oregon Territory passed its first of many laws prohibiting free Black people from moving into the area and authorizing violators to be whipped as punishment.

This is a very good thread and things seem to be very different now than when a relative was in hospice 30+ years ago.

Carbon capture also doesn't address all the air pollution that fossil fuels create, such as PM2.5, NO2, and ozone. Carbon capture might theoretically address CO2, but it will never help people suffering from asthma, emphysema, strokes, or dementia caused by fossil fuel created air pollution.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

As federal regulations stall, this is a major step toward preventing heat-related illnesses and fatalities in the workplace and should be a model for other jurisdictions. “No one should have to choose between their paycheck and their health.”

In Dec 2025, Rachel Rebouche looked ahead to the threats facing abortion access this year. Now, halfway through 2026, I asked her to check in--and, folks, I'm sorry to say she was prescient. Every challenge to mifepristone access she ID'd last year is moving forward. Here's the lay of the land.

NEW: the US government intervened Monday on behalf of xAI in a lawsuit over its gas turbines, claiming that the company needs to run the turbines in order to power Grok, which is "vital" for national security lots of wild stuff in the filing:

Let us not forget that their climate denial will boomerang around to the tech gods themselves. "More than half of data centers worldwide are in areas facing extreme heat or drought, making them vulnerable to periodic shutdowns from power outages or water restrictions, according to a new report."

🧪 Science wins one. “…scientists have used data from these instruments to understand how the ocean is absorbing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, how marine heat waves could affect fisheries and how soon a vital ocean current could collapse.”

A Mississippi police officer shot and killed Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, while responding to a shoplifting call at the Senatobia Walmart. Family members told WREG that he was sitting in his mother's lap in the passenger seat of a car when the officer shot him. buff.ly/oMSukfJ

Okay, folks: The big El Niño update is now out on Weather West! This sure looks like it's going to be a dramatic year from a global climate perspective, and there are major implications for extreme events (across California, the U.S. West, & well beyond).

There is no safe level of air pollution.

“People aren’t the apex species they think they are. Other creatures-bigger, smaller, slower, faster, older, younger, more powerful-call the shots, make the air, and eat sunlight. Without them, nothing.” ― Richard Powers, The Overstory

This is very worrisome.

For the first time, an American pro athlete is speaking out against fossil fuel sponsorships in sports. I have an exclusive interview with Angels pitcher Brent Suter, who's tired of greenwashing and would much prefer to promote clean energy. Check it out: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/brent-suter
