We’re not changing it.

This is outrageous. According to the article, the oil firm already brought equipment on land, after lying about having permit from Greenland. #climatechange #greenland www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Extreme #heat kills more people than other extreme weather events. The word here isn’t “gentler”; it’s “deadlier.” Inexcusable headline (surprise, surprise) from the @nytimes.com. #climatechange

Everything about this is extraordinarily disturbing (including the Mar-a-Lago face). Kids’ socioemotional development comes from interacting with *humans*. And Native American kids should not be put through this. Instead of #AI, #fascism, and #climate change, how about we start taking care of kids?!

“The fires in France and Spain are part of a broader wave of wildfires this summer across Europe, where repeated heat waves since May have brought extreme temperatures. Last month was the hottest June on record in Western Europe.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

Here’s the video of my IG Live conversation earlier today w/ Sarah Newman, founder & director of @climentalhealth.bsky.social, about extreme weather events (wildfires+smoke, floods, heat, storms) and kids. Lots here for parents, caregivers, and teachers. #climate www.instagram.com/reel/DbGijox...

Kids need support with extreme heat, storms, wildfires, and floods. Elizabeth Bechard at @momscleanairforce.org interviewed me about the resources I created for Climate Mental Health Network. Link to the resources is in the article. #extremeweather #climate www.momscleanairforce.org/helping-kids...

#Extremeweather and #heat are increasing due to climate change. Glad to be a contributor to these resources from CMHN in both English and Spanish to guide parents & other adults in helping children and teens. Tips sheets you can print out, & more: www.climatementalhealth.net/extreme-weat...

50 years ago, my mother did something that changed me. So I wrote a Mother's Day post about love, our neighborhood creek, and who we become. On Substack at: open.substack.com/pub/humanity... #mothersday #climateaction #nature

👏👏👏🎉🎉 “…to discourage consumption of goods linked with high carbon emissions./Ads for airlines, cruises, and faraway destinations…no longer allowed because they implicitly promote the burning of fossil fuels. Ads for beef, chicken, pork and fish are also banned” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/c...

Angry? ✅ Scared? ✅ Grieving? ✅ It’s valid to feel that way about #climatechange. Feel it—& let your feelings be a catalyst for #climateaction, incl’g holding govt accountable. On Fri, “nearly half of Michigan's 83 counties” were under a state of emergency. www.michiganpublic.org/weather/2026...

It’s unacceptable that we are in this situation, here in Michigan and everywhere else. We need to go off fossil fuels right away and transition to energy sources that don’t kill us and destroy our world. #michigan #climatechange #floods #extremeweather

Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud! @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Updated by NWS to 7 tornadoes (not two as originally thought), so now 11 already this year. One of them touched down a couple of miles away and wound through Ann Arbor. Today, for the first time, our entire state is under a flood watch. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb... #climatechange #extremeweather

Michigan averages 15 tornadoes a year. Last year, there were 33. This year, so far, there have been six. Tornado season used to start in June. Lots of damage in Ann Arbor and elsewhere last night. Climate change isn’t going away. #extremeweather

Spent time in our basement with a tornado warning last night, w an ice arena wall collapsing not far from our house. A month ago, 4 people were killed 70 miles away in the earliest tornado of its size here since 1950. More tornadoes, and earlier. #climatechange www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

Do you know about climate hushing? It’s the silence about #climate change that’s fallen over media, business, & politics since Trump took office. But as this latest poll shows, 66% of Americans are worried about cc & 44% think news is underestimating its seriousness. news.gallup.com/poll/708050/...

“They were able to turn around their country because they did not give up.” And we can’t either. Organize, protest, vote. Great message as always from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

Great summary of the cognitive dissonance of seeing the U.S. celebrate the Artemis mission while the current administration cuts science, by @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social in @eenews.bsky.social www.eenews.net/articles/art...

Neighbors. The kids down the street. The grocery store cashier. The server at your favorite restaurant. Doctors, nurses, techs. Teachers. Farmers. Repairpeople. The UPS driver who pets your dog. The stranger who says hello when you pass each other. Parents. Grandkids. All of us. #climateaction

Dear Friends, Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest. Deadline is April 17. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

Incredible things happen with science! Congratulations and thank you #Artemis —and Christina Koch, fellow grad (different year) of the North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics 🦄—for showing us what’s possible as we all live together on the one beautiful planet that needs us. #splashdown 🚀🌎

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

On a day when an unstable president threatens/plans to destroy an entire civilization, let’s hold onto another way—of peace & of care toward each other and the natural world. This bald eagle cam with newborns is a beautiful example of what can be. Our national bird. www.youtube.com/live/B4-L2nf...

A tragic loss.

This doesn’t have to be our future. Every day, every headline, is a chance for us to harness our feelings to make a difference on #climatechange. Check out SHIFT by Project Drawdown and @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social at jointheshift.earth to learn what to do. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Cheaper, more efficient, and saves lives by contributing way fewer emissions. And it feels great driving past the fossil fuel station and never having to stop there. I love my EV (a Kia EV6). Great graphics by @karinkirk.bsky.social @climateconnections.bsky.social.

“…the upheaval comes at the worst possible time—with the agency’s ranks already depleted and demoralized, and a new federal wildfire forecast showing exceptionally high #fire risk” #climatechange insideclimatenews.org/news/0204202...

While on one hand it speaks to the calmness we need these days (and the retro visuals *are* soothing), on the other hand I’m struck by the psychological incongruity of nostalgic #weatherchannel visuals with smooth jazz when #extremeweather due to #climatechange is becoming more frequent and intense.

Just got this severe warning for wind. Our NOAA weather radio beeped a full ten seconds before any of my apps did. Get a #weatherradio.

As a clinical psychologist, I’m very disturbed that the Supreme Court has ruled against a ban on “conversion therapy,” a long-discredited, illegitimate practice that causes many serious harms. Amicus brief supporting CO, filed by 14 mental health orgs: www.apa.org/about/office... #scotus

Green spaces and blue spaces: Great for your mental health Cars, freeways, concrete: Ummm, not so much #nature #psychology

In the past few days we’ve seen extreme and destructive flooding in Oman, Kuwait, Syria, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Afghanistan, United Arab Emirates, USA (incl Hawaii), Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Spain (incl Canary Islands), Iraq, New Zealand, Palestine, Bahrain,

Another day, yet another example of the administration’s insatiable, bottomless need to dominate and destroy every form of life that is “other” to them. We’re meant to live in harmony with the natural world, not to obliterate it. #biodiversity #wildlife #ecology #ESA #godsquad #nature
