Cost will be huge
Trump allowing polluters to pollute likes its 1926
"Payout to fossil fuel industry is a tax on consumers because renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuel energy, and climate change-fueled extreme weather disasters cost the U.S. more than $100 billion a year"
"Trump’s EPA can’t simply erase climate change — and we’ll all pay the price" | My op-ed with @ret_ward in The @SFChronicle: sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…

If they can do it, so can we.
Yesterday upwards of 300 million people across India held a national strike.
Numerous unions and farmers' groups flooded the streets, shutting down large segments of the economy.
One of the key demands was a withdrawal from the trade deal struck with the Trump administration.

BMJ: “COVID is a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one”
“Although COVID is transmitted through the respiratory system, much of the pathology unfolds in the vascular system, […] the common denominator in the lungs, heart, kidneys & brain.”

Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in acute and long covid.

The skies over North America are getting quieter.
Data from long-term surveys show almost 3 billion birds have disappeared since 1970.
One warning sign sits lower in the food web. Insects are falling in many places, and some monitoring shows steep drops, including a 27-year study in protected areas reporting large losses in flying insect biomass.
Birds that rely on insects feel this fast. Less insect food means harder breeding seasons and fewer young surviving. The link is strong, even if it does not prove one single cause.
If this trend continues, the loss spreads beyond birds. It hits pollination, pest control, and the stability of ecosystems people depend on

There is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. nature.org/en-us/newsroom/ep…

Every 3 seconds, a girl is married somewhere in the world.
Child marriage is a human rights violation that denies girls the chance to reach their full potential.
This #ValentinesDay, join @UNFPA in speaking out against this form of gender-based violence: unfpa.org/child-marriage
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The image in this post is deliberately misleading. Even their own site shows that the vast majority of child marriages happen in countries that are predominantly dark skinned. The use of a white woman with blond hair is a dishonest representation of the problem.

Dow wants to build an experimental nuclear reactor WITHOUT a containment shield on the Texas Gulf CoastWhy you should ring the 🚨 about the insane proposal putting South Texas and the broader U.S. at risk 👇nuclearcosts.org/dow-chemica…

As homes fill with new gadgets this festive season, it’s worth remembering what happens to the old ones.
Phones, fridges or laptops don’t just disappear. The 🌎 generates 62M tonnes of e-waste every year.

Your voice matters. You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better world. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.
Today, and every day, we must #ProtectTheProtest.

🔥 We cut trees for comfort, then wonder why the planet feels uncomfortable.
Trees aren't just pretty,they're Earth's AC system.A single mature tree can cool the air as much as 10 room-sized AC units running 20 hours/day.
Losing forests = turning up the global thermostat. 🥵
