@davidmel66 @lukemetzger @TCEQ There's a study on how living near natural gas extraction where there is flaring increases the risk of preterm labor and lowers birth weight. Not exactly pro-birth.

The Doomsday Clock moving ahead to 89 seconds to midnight is a stark reminder that we must act NOW. As @BulletinAtomic put it: “Every second of delay in reversing course increases the probability of global disaster.” But there is reason for hope, like the #NuclearBan Treaty. 🧵

The Climate and Clean Energy Plan invests in communities, invests in health, and slashes climate pollution. Rolling back climate progress would be a disaster for our communities: Congress: Please #StandStrongForClimate to protect a healthier, safer future for all!

We witness firsthand  how fossil fuel pollution endangers public health, disproportionately impacting overburdened low-income families & communities of color. This Act is a critical step to address these injustices, ensuring cleaner air, fostering healthier, resilient communities

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This shouldn’t be controversial: big polluters should pay to clean up their mess, and those who pollute the most should pay the most.

Today I reintroduced my Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act to tackle the climate crisis and hold big polluters accountable. It's time to make it law.

🧵A powerful moment in Oslo today: Nihon Hidankyo accepted the #NobelPeacePrize.

As co-chair Terumi Tanaka stated: “We must not allow the possession of a single nuclear weapon. I plead for everyone to discuss how to eliminate nuclear weapons and demand action from governments."
