Young people are messaging me again that they’re getting suicidal over climate change — and they’re citing many climate scientists who use this app as the reason why they believe things are hopeless.

Please please please be mindful of the way you communicate climate issues. It’s causing apathy.

TODAY IS THE DAY!

GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM

WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

I’m definitely not jealous of Australia..

Has your electric bill risen recently?

Mine sure has despite making energy efficiency improvements to my home and overall using less electricity than in years past.

Clean energy and natural materials. We have replacements for many things made from fossil fuels. The rest just needs more research and development. The world won’t effectively go for those alternatives until we commit to phasing out fossil fuels and getting rid of their subsidies though.

Protect Jonesborough

Learn more about what I’m fighting:

I’ve started to receive threats from anonymous accounts because I’m trying to stop a nuclear facility from opening up in my county.

It won’t produce anything for energy — just highly depleted uranium for armor piecing ammunitions.

Why threaten me if I’m telling the truth, BWXT and your employees?

Thank you!! BWXT already found the video on Instagram, and I’m having to delete comments from their bots/employees. They’re trying to gaslight someone who knows exactly how they cover up their pollution!!

Tell The Planning Commission: No To BWXT Rezoning Request NORTHEAST TENNESSEE LOCALS: URGE THE WASHINGTON COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION TO DENY THE REZONING REQUEST FOR BWXT COPY + PASTE THIS SCRIPT IN YOUR EMAIL: Dear [Official’s Name], I am contacting yo...

If you’re local, please copy + paste this email script and send it to the Washington County planning commission members that have email addresses.

There’s also a rezoning discussion meeting on Monday at the Justice Center in Jonesborough at 6 PM that y’all should attend if you can.

Sign the Petition Stop BWXT's Uranium Processing Expansion in Jonesborough!

Please sign this petition regardless of where you live.

(I didn’t create the petition so don’t yell at me about the AI art)

Help me stop a high purity depleted uranium facility from opening where I live in Washington County, TN.

It won’t be used for energy — just defense purposes.

Take action at the link in the replies. It just takes a minute and could help my area avoid another environmental injustice.

Negotiations at COP30 have gone into overtime because a handful of major oil producing countries are refusing to allow text about a fossil fuel phaseout despite the overwhelming evidence it must happen or addressing climate change will be futile.

Last year I survived a climate disaster that killed hundreds of people across my region and is costing us billions of dollars to recover from.

To see that the proposed final agreement out of negations at #COP30 once again doesn’t include language about phasing out fossil fuels is beyond insulting.

Here’s how I check what that man is up to without having to sign up for Truth Social:

Go read his posts for yourself.

What do you mean I went into the woods for literally two hours and I come back to the president actively calling for democratic lawmakers to be killed over encouraging service members not to follow illegal orders??

Far too many climate scientists. I don’t want to tag them to start drama. I just want them to do better.

Telling folks concerned about AI data centers that they aren’t a climate issue actively discourages them from taking action and ignores the fact that these data centers are often environmental injustices.

This is the perfect opportunity to get more climate activists, and y’all are squandering it!!

$1 billion that could’ve gone towards new clean energy projects that would actually provide power for people and not corporations..

I’m so tired of these data centers raising electric rates, energy demand, and emissions!

The science is clear.
The economics are clear.
The health impacts are clear too.

We can’t meet the goals of the Paris Agreement or effectively address the climate crisis at all until the world agrees to quickly and equitably phase out fossil fuels.

FOSSIL FUELS HAVE GOT TO GO ASAP!

Let’s start the day off right with some evidence-based hope!

No prominent activist is saying it, but hundreds upon hundreds of everyday activists did after Helene. So many left me nasty comments and messages, and I’m actually still in counseling for it. I never knew how many folks hate Appalachia so much they’d wish me harm. It really messed me up.

So I should rot even though I stayed behind in Appalachia as a scientist and activist to make it a better place?

I had to stop taking screenshots of harmful things people say to me so I could respond to folks like you with evidence. It was ruining my mental health.

Just because you haven’t seen the cruel posts and comments, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Sometimes you just gotta believe folks.

I was being told while I still didn’t have power that my community deserved Hurricane Helene and that these blue state climate activists wouldn’t be supporting recovery efforts due to the way my state voted in recent elections.

It wasn’t bots. It was real people. Some of them I know.

Big polluters have no place at #COP30. Let’s ban all big polluter lobbyists from future climate negotiations.

If they were serious about being part of the solution, we wouldn’t need these negotiations in the first place because the problem would never have gotten this bad.

I will never understand why so many American climate activists are okay with Appalachia — one of the most biodiverse places in the world that has been on the frontlines of fossil fuel exploitation for centuries — getting destroyed by climate disasters because of classism and electoral politics.

Edition 30: November 15, 2025 From a global treaty on overfishing going into effect to Colombia buying solar panels for low income households, there is still plenty of hope when it comes to the climate crisis.

Fossil fuel lobbyists once again make up the second largest delegation at #COP30.

That’s beyond unacceptable.

It’s like letting wolves into a conference run by sheep about what to do with the wolf problem and then letting the wolves dictate what the sheep will do to them.

The new climate reports are scary, but what’s even scarier is the hold the fossil fuel industry has on the world.

Without them influencing our politics and economies, those climate reports would be a lot less scarier.

That’s why the industry should be banned from all future climate negations.

These mundane milestones are how #climatesolutions get better 🙌
