Summer in October isn’t something to celebrate. It’s a side effect of #climatechange

Current ocean warmth 20X more likely because of #climatechange.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Three Degrees: Running on Climate Change

Big thanks to @climatechris.bsky.social and @channingdutton.bsky.social for inviting me on the podcast β€” to talk about the importance of data and evidence in fixing the horrors of the Trump regime and why I'm running for Congress (VA-01).

That also means climate.

Kicked off filming for a new documentary, not just my story, but the fight against climate disinformation.

While in Iowa: keynoted a packed IEC conference + joined Urbandale Library’s biggest book club yet. The energy was electric - people were excited, engaged, ready. 🌎

When I worked at Sinclair, they forced stations to air β€œmust run” segments from Boris Epshteyn. They looked like news but were actually dangerous right-wing propaganda. #JimmyKimmel

#JimmyKimmel makes a joke about Charlie Kirk. Fired.
Appeasement, not accountability.
When I reported on climate change, MAGA outrage poured in. My station’s answer? Stop telling the truth.
Free speech in theory. Blacklists in practice. I left before they could silence me.

I’ll probably never work in TV again for saying this, but the truth matters more:

Brian Roberts, Mike Cavanagh & Mark Lazarus are cowards.

The media is cowering to a small, alt-right, vocal minority.

That’s not β€œunity.” That’s surrender.
And it’s destroying journalism.

MAGA got mad when I reported on climate change - my station told me to stop.

They scream free speech but blacklist those who simply speak the truth. Terry Moran, #MatthewDowd, and others all paid the price.

I left rather than be silenced. We’re in dangerous times when truth bows to MAGA.

Once again a significant drought beginning to develop here in S. NE. Our new groundwater storage deficit analysis shows that 5 out of the last 9 yrs in a drought state. Interestingly switching from record wet to very dry (see 18, 21, 23) and to some extent last spring. @climatechris.bsky.social

β€˜It’s madness’: Trump-voting fishermen oppose Revolution Wind halt The Rhode Island offshore wind project, now nearly finished, employed 80 fishermen to help with construction. With Trump's pause, they are losing vital…

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work.

When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet.

This time, they spoke to me.πŸ‘‡

#HurricaneKatrina hit 20 years ago. #Climatechange added fuel to the storm. The storm also highlighted racist practices in disaster response and recovery.

Did you know the Bush administration cut FEMA before Katrina?

I spoke with Ivor van Heerden, former deputy director of the Louisiana Hurricane Center, about his memories from 20 years agoβ€”and his warning about today’s new NOAA and FEMA cuts.

Did you know the frequency of dust storms have increased by 240% since the 1990s? Similar to what we saw at #burningman2025 & the #phoenix haboob.

#Climatechange is helping prolong and intensify drought season.

10” of sea level rise over the last ~80 years helps surf push farther inland.

#HurricaneErin was hundreds of miles offshore, but still packed a punch.

#ClimateChange is increasing the frequency of these nuisance floods… Cumulatively they’re going to cost us a lot.

From Wisconsin Floods to Hurricane Erin: The Week Climate Change Refused to Let Me Rest From flooded basements in Wisconsin to Hurricane Erin’s explosive rise, the climate crisis is no longer a future threat - it’s already reshaping daily life.

#HurricaneErin ’s sprint to Cat 5 shows how #climatechange is supercharging storms. Even in Wisconsin, we’re not insulated - floods, storms & heat are hitting harder. I break it down in my latest Substack...open to everyone, because this issue is too important:

Hundreds of miles away - #HurricaneErin causing coastal flooding in Westport, MA.

This area has seen 10” of sea level rise since 1950. That helps push waves farther inland.

Fact checking Lucy Biggers on #climatechange:

More hurricane because of climate change? Perhaps not.

Stronger storms that intensify at a faster pace? Yes.

Add in rising sea level and heavier rainfall as well - stakes are higher!

#HurricaneErin was supercharged by climate change. New @climatecentral.org study found Erin’s peak winds were 9mph stronger because of #climatechange. Wind damage scales exponentially. That means even a small rise and wind speed unleash is disproportionally greater destruction.

Spoke today at Old Whalers Presbyterian Church in my hometown of Sag Harbor about #climatechange & our role as stewards of the Earth.
I’m not religious, but I am spiritual, and I believe caring for God’s creation is a shared responsibility we can’t ignore. πŸŒπŸ™

The article said it: β€œMore drought and extreme heat, forest fires are starting earlier in the year.”

But it never used the words #climatechange.

Attribution studies show January fires are now 35% more likely in our warmed world. That’s the missing connection.
