When people ask what the war is about- answer is simple money & oil- its always about oil.
In Iraq, what was our first objective- an oil field. 😠
Before the war we had a 1-3 million barrel/day surplus and now we have a shortage with high prices/profits. Hmmmmm.
#bigoil looking to become immune from their role in the #climatecrisis
Shame on the Republican pawns Rep Hageman/Sen Cruz who prostituted themselves to #fossilfuelindustry
Must be nice to not care about anyone else but yourself and shrug responsibility.

1/3 of air pollution premature deaths come from indoor air pollution.
Globally, cook stoves disproportionately expose women/children to this #climatehealth hazard.
#cleancooktops like #inductionstovetops can replace natural gas to lessen indoor #airpollution.

The Trump administration’s scorched-earth approach treats people as expendable and puts the power of the federal government behind boosting corporate profits while putting zero value–literally–on human lives. We are NOT expendable and will continue to fight back.

#Science and #spirituality are interconnected through the health of our planet. As stewards of the earth we can use our faith and scientific knowledge to solve #climatechange
Dr. Cerceo is a friend doing great work, cool to see her in this article!

Who are you wearing? It matters for climate choosing a sustainable brand.
Want to know a little more about #slowfashion check out this video by Madisyn Peru for her capstone project from our Climate, Health and Environment #medicalstudent elective at @uarizona.bsky.social

Want to deploy #pvsolar faster as a #cleanenergy solution to improve air quality. Check out this robot that is deploying solar at twice the rate of usual deployment.

Is it sketchy that oil production was 1-3 million barrels/day surplus to bombing Iran and now with 30-40% production reduction leading to a 11 million barrel/day shortage and high prices? Seems like a great way to stimulate profits #BigOil
Good news is bigger interest in #EVs
War still sucks
Had two heat related illnesses in kids yesterday 1. Asthma exacerbation that heat triggers 2. Headache and vomiting because lived with no AC unit.
Asthma, respiratory illness, cardiovascular, kidney disease are all worse with heat.
Sucks to care for sick kids from our fossil fuel addiction
23 years ago I was in a different desert #Iraq with a different purpose
Thankful for all my brothers, those that came home & those I keep in my heart.
From someone who has been to war, it sucks & I don’t wish it on anyone
I pray for those who lives are affected by those whose lives are not
#tucson this is ridiculous #heat
Breaking a 100 year record sometimes is bad
Why? Consumption of those damn #fossilfuels
We are addicts of the fossil fuel
energy infrastructure.
Good news is we now have 340 homes in #virtualpowerplants it has doubled in just 6 months
Treating the addiction!
@sameerhalai.bsky.social Thank you for all your work to create www.ph.app
I recommend this to my patients to find a place shelter from #extremeheat or learn about #publichealth issues in their community.
Share with friends & patients as great resilency resource for all of us.
@azhpca.bsky.social
Imagine the differences in #extremeheat & #airpollution in our cities if we switched from #fossilfuel based transportation to #electricbuses
Besides the #climatehealth benefits of less respiratory & cardiovascular illness, it saves money, & everyone loves money.
Capstone by: Aditya Lankalapalli
How to protect our carbon sinks in our our forests & their soil?
Following a Patagonia model, Fortnite creator Tim Sweeney is putting his money to good for #climatechange
Forrests also transpire water helping to prevent against #extremeheat & allow for rain to recharge our water table.
Starting to share Capstone projects from amazing medical students on #climatehealth topics.
Evilina looked at ways to stay safe in #extremeheat with special considerations to those observing #Ramadan
Heat season is already here in March! #Arizona

@azhpca.bsky.social
#covid19 pandemic did give us hope with #sustainabletransportation leading to cleaner air and water.
Decreasing #fossilfuel consumption decreases air pollution leading to improved health.
This MS4 capstone project overviews the #climatehealth implications. Great work Kobe!

Day 7 we discussed race, climate & health- very connected!
#Colonialism led to the #castesystem led to racial inequities in wealth, investment in communities and health.
#Structuredracism in a plantation economy was magnified by redlining led to worse #climatehealth outcomes that persist today.
Excited about our meeting with byfusion.com today to #recycle more of our plastic burden from our #arizona hospital.
#healthcarewaste can be overwhelming but companies making solutions for healthcare's #carbonfootprint
Diverting from landfill to construction material, need more of this!
Day 6 discussion by Dr. Stefan Wheat on incorporating #planetaryhealth curriculum into medical schools.
having a longitudinal approach over the 4 years will lead to better translation of #climatehealth knowledge for our future physicians.

Day 5 discussed how to be green/sustainable at home.
Getting rid of disposable paper products to cloth napkins, rags, towels and reusable dishes/cups.
Induction cooktops to decrease air pollution
#slowfashion sustainable furniture
Wool rugs , low VOC paints/cleaners
Many options to engage!
Great discussions with #medicalstudents on all things water
Discussed the #onewater
Concept, #greeninfrastructure, #rainwaterharvesting as solutions for #extremeheat & air pollution to improve human health.
We must see water as our most valuable resource

Yesterday great sharing of stories about food, one that stood out was a Turkish children’s lesson of finishing all your food especially the bread made from dough. If you didn’t the Doughy bread monster would haunt you in your dreams! Yikes
Great way to teach #foodwaste
#climatehealth
Day 4 we talked about #agriculture climate and health
Great lecture overview by Dr. Jen Thorn.
Big solutions for food system:
1. Plant based diet- #PlanetaryDiet by the Lancet
2. Decrease #foodwaste
3. #regenerativeagriculture

Hopefully you can pass this bill to join the #VPP (virtual power plant) world.
Democratization of energy production and sales helps lead to #gridresilence keeping the lights on for everyone.
I love being a VPP in #arizona

Day 4 of #climatehealth course discussing #infectiousdisease
Reflections from the students on increasing #vectorbornedisease spread with impacts on health. Will we have new yearly vaccines? Do we have to take more medicines if we travel?
Watch out for ticks & mosquitos!
@azhpca.bsky.social
Seriously #arizona
Ever see a kid with measles, they are miserable and their brains get scrambled.
Preventable with a single #vaccine
Or you can choose an ignorant path that leads to your community suffering. IF you don't want to trust physicians than who are you going to trust?
@dangwx.bsky.social shared in our #medicalstudent class yesterday this past winters ranking.
We saw cold in the news for the east coast thanks to some polar vortex action, but much of the USA, especially in #arizona had the hottest winter on record!!!
#climatehealth
@azhpca.bsky.social
Day 3 with the medical student's #climatehealth elective talking about #sustainablehealthcare.
5% of global emissions come from #healthcare
8.5% of USA emission are from healthcare
Rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle are important strategies to use.
Need more C-suite support!
@azhpca.bsky.social
Great lecture from @dangwx.bsky.social for our #climatehealth course yesterday.
He helped share ideas of how #climatechange is taking all weather to the extreme- not so good for human health, but key for understanding how to help our patients.

Day 2 of #ClimateHealth Medical Student elective with topic of Extreme Heat and Weather.
Shared experiences of heat from family experiences in Florida, Los Angelos and reservations in Arizona.
The students are quite reflective!
