“Readers who doubt the devastation caused by oil and gas development should come to Cameron Parish and see for themselves." Read more from @hiattus in @washingtonpost in response to recent op-ed from @APIenergy: https://t.co/1GDPFdrJ4G #StopLNG

The authors of a new Perspective write that as the fossil-fuel industry continues to obstruct efforts to curtail pollution from its products, the health community should use strategies that have been effective in fighting other health-harming industries. Read the Perspective by Linda Rudolph, MD, MPH, and Vishnu Laalitha Surapaneni, MD, MPH (@LaaliMD): https://t.co/eOSN5Ap2gb

This Perspective is part of an #EarthDay2025 spotlight illustrating the effects of the climate crisis on clinical health. View more resources at https://t.co/h32DpdCCHF

“Our leader has declared a fake emergency about energy, so that we can do more of something—drilling for oil and gas—that causes the actual emergency now devastating our second most populous city.” https://t.co/0GIDp1fg3u

LNG is not just warming our planet—it's devastating communities. In a new episode of Healthy Climate America, @LaaliMD unpacks the inequitable impacts of LNG, dispels industry myths, and shares advocacy strategies for health professionals. https://t.co/803KZwEtjj

This solar and battery-powered Florida development has made it through four hurricanes in two years.

New @WWAttribution study finds #Milton’s rainfall was made 20-30% more intense by Climate Change, the intensity of rain made 2X more likely. The storm made 10% more intense and storms of a similar intensity now have a 40% greater likelihood of occurring. https://t.co/zSL2RCPO22

Florida should look at Vermont, which just passed a bill that forces oil and gas companies to pay billions into a “Climate Superfund” to update infrastructure and respond to disasters. #MakePollutersPay

"I apologise, this is just horrific...and you know what's driving this, I don't need to tell you. Global warming, climate change."

@JohnMoralesTV giving a sobering update about Hurricane Milton on NBC. When meteorologists start crying on TV, you know things are bad.

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

“The seas are just so incredibly, incredibly hot. Record hot, as you might imagine. You know what’s driving that. I don’t need to tell you. Global warming, climate change, leading to this. And becoming an increasing threat.”

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

This is what the climate crisis looks like.

Florida faces the storm of the century, and Wyoming is on fire.

This isn't normal.

[ARCHIVED - NASA Climate @NASAClimate]

Warm ocean waters due to human-caused climate change helped fuel Hurricane #Milton to become a powerful Category 5 storm.

Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were well above average for this time of year as Milton churned toward Florida. https://t.co/p4WvGdpcWE

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

As millions brace for Milton, reminder that Big Oil was making business decisions *35 years ago* -- like raising their offshore drilling platforms -- to account for the sea level rise they knew was coming, all while telling the public that climate change was a hoax.

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

I can't believe the American Petroleum Institute, which has spent hundreds of millions lobbying against climate action, has the audacity to put up a "hurricane resources" page.

You know what would be helpful? Stop lying and pay for the damage you've done.

Over 40 years ago, Exxon's top scientists internally warned the company that climate change could lead to "catastrophic" weather events.

Now those fossil-fueled catastrophes are playing out before our eyes.

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action.

Now we’re all paying the price.
