“We have the ability, we have the knowledge, we have the understanding — that's what I mean by being in charge — and that means we have the responsibility to care," @katharinehayhoe.com tells @chasecain.bsky.social in a great extended interview:
As I pivot from climate reporting on traditional media to independent journalism, I'm struggling with a big question:
How do I authentically & effectively communicate?
@drreneelertzman.bsky.social brilliantly addresses that question & the answer in this essay: substack.com/home/post/p-...
Why aren’t more Christians demanding climate action?
Only 31% of Evangelical Protestants have faith in the truth about climate change 👀
An enlightening conversation with @katharinehayhoe.com about the opportunity for Christians to “Care for Creation”

You heard HEATED's conversation with @chasecain.bsky.social last week. Yesterday, his first YouTube video after leaving NBC dropped.
Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQeP...
“People need to be warned in order to be safe, and if we're taking apart the systems that warn them, we're taking away their avenue to safety.”
@whitehouse.senate.gov talked with me before his 300th “Time to Wake Up” speech on the Senate floor for @nbcnews.com
‘NOT FOR SALE’
It turns out that not many Americans wanted to see our country’s public land sold — with polls showing 75-80% opposed — even 65% of Republicans
Late Monday, that proposal got the axe 🪓

What's it like inside the National Weather Service right now?
@evanbush.bsky.social and @chasecain.bsky.social got a rare look inside one local NWS office. They found dedicated people committed to the mission but an office that is unquestionably short-staffed.

🚨 Americans will die during severe weather events because of cuts to the @nws.noaa.gov
— that's the warning from EVERY LIVING FORMER director of the National Weather Service

Our culture of distraction can make it easy to forget how intertwined we are — with each other & our planet 🌎
I traveled to Antarctica for @nbcnews.com & it was a beautiful lesson in connections 🐧
Sadly, reports of talented folks at NOAA & NWS getting fired shouldn’t be surprising
Before the election, I reported on this exact thing happening from the playbook of Project 2025
I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.
A free press is critical to the survival of a democracy

"What's the catch?"
There wasn't one ... except for the salmon!
This story highlights a true win-win for climate change & river ecosystems using enhanced rock weathering 🐟 🪨
In October, I reported on Project 2025’s plan to gut NOAA, the National Weather Service, & climate research
Today The Guardian is reporting “DOGE staffers enter NOAA headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats”

Hello Bluesky 🦋👋
In my role at @nbcnews.com, I’m brainstorming how to more effectively talk about the impact of climate change on our environment, our lives, & all of the amazing solutions which already exist!
What’s missing? What can we do better? What can we do more of?
Trump’s executive orders “will make our air dirtier, make people sicker, make energy more expensive, and make our communities less prepared for extreme weather.”

Meteorologist @chasecain.bsky.social breaks down the two main ways that climate change drives wildfires like the ones in LA. “It’s not that climate change causes a fire,” he reports, “but it does allow them to burn much more intensely and spread much more quickly.”

Upwards of 85% of Gen Z & 70% of Millennials are "worried" about climate change 😬
Eco grief or climate anxiety is increasingly common, so I talked with experts for advice on coping with climate emotions 💚
Before I take a break from social media, here’s a message from my heart 🖤

#Project2025 aims to “eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere” across federal gov't
It also slashes federal disaster aid, environmental regulations, & the National Weather Service
215,000 first-time voters have already cast ballots — and they’re voters who prioritize climate change!
The Environmental Voter Project has turned-out these new voters in states like PA, NC, GA, FL, & TX
