Because everyone knows if you stop doing the research on a problem the problem magically disappears.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
It’s preferable to be inquisitive and well-informed to be ignorant victims of laws of natures that don’t care what answers we do or don’t want to hear.
Another under appreciated aspect of climate change. Increased heat and CO2 increase pollen amounts and seasonal durations.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Be aware of the impacts.
Do something about it.
We HAVE solutions NOW.
Step 1: drastically decrease fossil fuel use & emissions.
Excellent thread. Key points:
“Fossil fuel burning must fall hard and fast.
And we must protect and restore ecosystems. The sink matters as much as the smokestack.
The atmosphere measures what we do, not what we promise.”
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Let’s fix it.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
The deafening silence from media and government about both the threats we face and the viable, attractive solutions we have ready to go is criminal in its consequences for life on Earth.
As far as fossil fuels go, let’s make them a relic of the past ASAP.
#KeepItInTheGround
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
How about we try to solve the problem with solutions that already exist?
Drawdown rocks!
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Farmers should get at least equal encouragement and subsidies to grow actual food or create conservation easements as they do to grow ethanol, corn syrup, and cow food.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
It inexorably accelerates until serious people are willing to do something about it.
Mother Nature doesn’t care about our opinions, politics, wasteful AI, or fossil fuel interests
The fossil fuel industry is cheating. Not just to protect their bottom line, but to dodge responsibility for the effects of their industry on the climate and environment.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
One of the best steps toward doing something about it is to work to understand what’s going on. #Drawdown is a great starting point for making conversations that can make a difference.
Great article with links to other compelling stories.
Spoiler alert:
“fossil fuel phase out — which has been staring us in the face all this time, still represents the surest route to safety.”
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Let’s quit overshooting limits and fix this. The way we live is the solution.
Both of those things, along with his trampling, calloused disregard of the Constitution, human rights, and the life-or-death consequences of his actions, distract people from the incalculable damage 47 has done to understanding of and actions taken to combat the climate crisis.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Talk about your harmful, short-sighted, economically-unsustainable, self-inflicted disasters.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
The ways we think and act about climate, energy, & justice must change if we are to survive.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Oh, and renewables, green energy, & conservation are all cheaper than fossil fuels, even not taking into account the environmental costs of burning them.
The climate crisis is a dirfferent form of State violence, just in another timeline. All foms of State violence must be opposed and ended. Find the best way you can respond and act.

#ClimateChangeBugsMe
The assaults on clean energy and the propping up of the obsolete fossil fuel industry will be remembered as some of the most costly devastating legacy of this daily dumpster fire administration.
Resist this and work for better science and governance.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
There are so many distractions & outrages to contend with, but if we miss our chance to act on climate, all other issues pale in comparison.
Drawdown documents solutions within our grasp.
Positive, life-enhancing solutions are here & now. For all our sakes, get informed & act
Upset about how much of NextEra Energy’s AI buildout focuses on fossil gas power.
“Fossil” is the opposite of what we need to think about for the “NextEra” of energy.
Stockholders, voters, policy makers take note & act.
“Less bad” than other companies doesn’t cut it anymore.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
In small and annoying and huge and threatening ways it impacts us all and is a strong concern for most people.
If you feel hopeless, look around and see people creating solutions and find ways you can act to generate hope however you can, wherever you are.
Everything we can do to keep the climate crisis from getting worse is a good idea.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
A) Fix it
B) Ignore it
C) Keep feeding the fire
Are all choices. Only one of those is a viable choice.
Follow #Drawdown for solution ideas that fit your strengths & situations.
Coal is dirty, expensive, low-employment, risky, & stupid.
Why pollute & scorch the earth when solar is clean, cheap, and climate-friendly?
Fossil fuel “Oiligarchs” & their martial law marionette in the Oval Office have to be resisted, stopped, removed, cancelled, & reversed.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Why can’t we have nice things that save the planet too?
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
It’s not only possible to do something about it — it’s the best economic and environmental choice.
The tipping point I’d like to see is where 89% concern turns into consequential elections and meaningful action and policy.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Inaction, backsliding, and denial should rankle everyone.
Just think how the forces of nature will slow down if only we pay less attention to them.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
If you’re not worried about and actively addressing the causes of climate change, you are a big part of the problem.
And the disasters are becoming less and less natural. Unnatural events come courtesy human-driven climate change.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
To the extent folks think God wants them to be good stewards of the Earth, there’s sure a lot of falling down on the job.
Great info here for anyone considering getting an EV, rooftop solar, home battery storage, heat pump for home &/or water heater, or other clean energy before incentives go away (Sept 30 for EVs, Dec. 31 for other stuff)
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
It pays to act now!

Right when our environment is in most need of protection, our EPA is being dismantled, defunded, debased, and destroyed.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
We don’t have time for this.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
The team/party currently in charge of dealing with it in the U.S. isn’t.
They’re making things work.
They have to go.
In the meantime, states, communities, and individuals have their work cut out for them to pick up the slack.
Clean, cheap, job-creating energy should not be a partisan choice.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
Non-viable solutions aren’t viable.
More expensive polluting alternatives aren’t good economic, social, or environmental policy.
Advice to 47 & Co.:
Stop being so stupid.
#ClimateChangeBugsMe
The current U.S. administration is Hell-bent on making it worse.
They are killing solutions within our grasp.
