Greenhouse gases qualify as health-harming air pollution: They contribute directly to climate change and indirectly to rising rates of asthma, heart disease, heat stress, infectious disease, poor birth outcomes, and climate-related trauma.

But it's not too late to stop his #ClimateChaosPlan: Demand the EPA protects our health and climate from pollution. actonclimate.now/stopclimatec...

Climate change is real and as health professionals we need to be equipped to help educate our patients, families and communities. πππ©Ίπ₯Ό
Doctors and Nurses: That is One Big Unhealthy Bill! Takes away health coverage from almost 12 million people. Takes food away from children, seniors, veterans, and disabled people. Replaces a clean energy revolution with air pollution and dangerous weather. Stops medical research projects on cancer, dementia, and diabetes. Call Congress and tell them to vote NO!
I'm a primary care doctor and a mom. I can think of few things that are as important to our lives as our health.
Call Congress and tell them: Their budget bill is bad for our health. Call them every day that health matters.

The solidarity and motivation of Saturday's rallies are precious resources. Let' build on them! Healthy Democracy 4 Healthy People! #NoKingsDay
16.06.2025 17:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Summer may be just getting started, but #ExtremeWeatherSZN is year-round. Climate pollution is making severe weather more frequent, intense and dangerous, and without critical climate protections, our communities will suffer.
11.06.2025 17:00 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Canadian wildfire smoke is affecting Michigan residents in the UP. The smoke is creating an unhealthy air quality. The EPA has suggested for vulnerable residents stay inside to stay safe.

02.06.2025 19:22 β π 3 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0A Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) generator is just a fancy name for a methane gas plant. Without burning expensive, often imported fuel, they simply donβt work. Thatβs not clean energy.
19.05.2025 15:38 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Republicans donβt care about lowering energy prices. They want to eliminate clean energy tax credits that are helping reduce household costs so billionaires pay less taxes. Hear it from @beyer.house.gov:
15.05.2025 14:54 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Thank you, @doggett.house.gov for speaking out about the urgency of the climate crisis. Republican rollbacks of clean energy tax credits and investments will mean more fossil fuels, which means more harmful pollution, and more extreme weather disasters. @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social pushed back.
15.05.2025 14:26 β π 2 π 2 π¬ 0 π 1Republicans want to eliminate clean energy tax credits that boost local economies, reduce household energy bills, and cut climate pollution. They are putting our economy, our climate and our future at risk. @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social and
@waysmeanscmte.bsky.social are fighting back.
The Republican bill will raise taxes on American energy:
Higher electricity bills
Hundreds of thousands of jobs erased
China forever getting the better of America in the race for clean energy dominance
They are hurting the middle class just to lower taxes for the ultra-rich
"What is it about building a new health clinic and upgrading wastewater infrastructure for my constituents in Thomasville, Georgia that is inconsistent with administration policy?"
Thank you @ossoff.senate.gov for grilling Lee Zeldin on canceling EPA environmental justice funding!
@waysmeanscmte.bsky.social called out Republican goals to cancel clean energy tax credits that have created jobs, boosted local economies, and saved families money to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. @mikethompson.house.gov is spot on: American workers will suffer if Republicans gut clean energy.
14.05.2025 18:17 β π 3 π 3 π¬ 0 π 0As climate change intensifies extreme weather, Trump's attacks on climate have forced the NOAA to stop updating its billion-dollar disaster database, leaving the public without information on the costs of climate disasters. #ExtremeWeatherWednesday

12.05.2025 14:38 β π 1 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0We joined forces with a coalition of non profits around the country to urge Congress to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for their pollution and deception. Our families and children deserve better! #ProtectOurHealth climateintegrity.org/news/view/ne...
14.03.2025 18:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Climate protections keep our air clean and our families safe and healthy. Polluters donβt need tax breaks, they need to be held accountable.
We need Congress to reject any plan that doesn't uphold the law and put the American people β not wealthy polluters β first. #ProtectOurHealth
