Trump says climate change doesn’t endanger public health – evidence shows it does, from extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses Climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Erasing the federal endangerment finding increases the risk.

EPA rescinded the climate change Endangerment Finding an hour ago. Here's our response: theconversation.com/trump-says-c...

Trump’s biggest climate rollback stalls over fears it will lose in court Trump officials have delayed finalizing the repeal of the agency’s “endangerment finding” over concerns the proposal is too weak to withstand a court challenge.

A recipe for avoiding 15 million deaths a year and climate disaster is fixing food, scientists say Scientists are presenting new evidence that the worst effects of climate change can’t be avoided without a major transformation of food systems.

Fixing our farms and food systems, and improving what we eat,
is a recipe for better human and planetary health.

If ever there was a moment to shame climate wrongdoers, that moment is now. To that end, I offer a recently published article (by @sharonyadin.bsky.social & me) on how ordinary folks like you & me--plus civil society & governments--can harness the power of shame.

Pulling climate data offline, canceling research grants, and de-funding scientific institutions doesn't just suppress climate information. It weakens the foundation we rely on to make good decisions of any kind.

In my latest "Tea with Katharine" I share why investment in science is so important!

These statements ring even more true today than when written two years ago:

We must act.

Our actions can make a profound difference (in creating the healthy future we need).
