As of today, thanks to @markvmd.bsky.social, I'm no longer calling methane "so-called natural gas" or "fracked gas." Instead, I'm calling it "asthma gas" because 13% of children's asthma in the US is attributable to its use in gas stoves. bsky.app/profile/maib... @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Asthma gas! A boffo (& truthful) renaming of an inherently dangerous product. Nearly 13% of childhood asthma in the US is a byproduct of so-called "natural" (aka "fracked") gas stoves in American kitchens. Switching to induction stoves improves health: www.jaci-inpractice.org/article/S221...

By keeping an open mind, I'm amazed how often I find common cause with other people, even when we disagree on other points. Example: Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's desire to see his state become a major hub for EV manufacturing.

Big Oil used to give me Gas, but thanks to heat pumps, an induction stove, and community solar (thank you, Maryland State Legislature!), my home is now gas-free. I broke up with Big Gas (and their local distributor, Washington Gas) and now feel so much better. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

A lovely thought of the day via @CCRclimate: “The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction” —Rachel Carson (1954) @mason4c.bsky.social

Thinking and reflecting are hard, and AI—like the Siren’s song—can deceive us into believing it isn’t.

H/T to Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, who “has been among the few leaders to argue that the European Union’s green transition should be accelerated accordingly”—in response to the wildfires that are raging across the Eurozone and elsewhere around the world. @gchalliance.bsky.social

Be good to start with US democracy talks to restore it there first

Half the world’s on fire, the other is in deluge. The four horsemen of the Anthropocene: fire, floods, heat and drought. We are making our world increasingly unliveable. How is your government responding? How are you preparing for a disaster? #NomadCentury

My idea of a good time: Walk fast. Walk slow. Walk fast. Walk slow. Add a few dogs into mix and you’ve got a walking party—although I may need a dog whisperer to help me coach my dogs on the general idea.

What he said. 100%

Once again, @nbcnews.com devotes more than 15% of its nightly broadcast to #climate catastrophes around the world. They even describe it as a worldwide problem, but these cowards won't say #globalwarming. I feel sorry for anyone looking to be informed about the why. #Actonclimate

Hazzah! Astronauts getting out the vote for America.

Horrifying! Oddly enough, this feels personal to me because I had the pleasure of cycling around Bordeaux last fall.

I am delighted to see this data from @mattomildenberger.bsky.social & crew at UCSB which shows that leaning into climate solutions—not avoiding the issue—is a vote winner. It confirms everything we have been saying based on our polls. @mason4c.bsky.social @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social

Little by little, it’s getting increasingly easier to hold oil and gas companies accountable for their lies and harms Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

That so many Walmart and Amazon employees need to be on Medicaid to get healthcare is deeply illustrative of the many ways in which America is a broken country. Medicare for all (who need it) wouldn’t fix all our problems, but would be an important step in the right direction.

Please, government @mark-carney.bsky.social—this is urgent! STOP promoting fossil fuels. LET'S PROMOTE renewable energy. Let's finally act like leaders, not like good-for-nothings who are fueling the fires that destroy the planet

Trump admin has quietly drafted new rules governing the census expected to recategorize millions of immigrants (both unauthorized and legal) as not actually living here in the United States This would allow the GOP to steal congressional seats & redirect hundreds of billions of federal dollars
