Californians - like me, I bet a lot of you are worried about air quality right now, trying to navigate what's safe for kids. We need a Master Plan for Climate Resilient Schools! Email Governor Newsom to say YES on SB394 - use this tool to send a message: https://t.co/dwCekxsn5H

"As a pediatrician & mother, I'm concerned about the impacts of climate change...on my patients & children. Our schools should be safe places for our children to learn, thrive, build community." -@SonjaSwenson on why we need @GavinNewsom to sign #SB394!https://t.co/hoCA5Wmvov

Pediatricians and providers who care for kids - diesel school buses are dangerous for child health! Does anyone have a story they'd be able to share with me about a pediatric patient whose health has been impacted by a diesel powered bus - or improved by an electric school bus?

Coal produces toxic air pollution. Combusting coal causes climate change. Proud to be here today to say NO COAL IN OAKLAND!!!!

Yesss!!! Pediatricians check it out! 👇

Anyone have suggestions for short and condense best practices for talking to colleagues about climate and health - bonus points if the focus is on people working in the health/public health sector? Thanks! @MaibachEd @Pknappen

“This new recurring threat of terrible air quality from wildfire smoke is one big reason we believe that for a child born today, climate change may be the single greatest determinant of health over the course of their lives.” - @LisaPatelMD

📢California health community: sign & share this letter to Governor Newsom asking for $10 million for a Master Plan for Climate Resilient Schools in California. Climate change is a health threat to our kids - schools can be part of the solution! https://t.co/vgKrNkl85D

@caliclimatedoc Yay!

I know from living through wildfire smoke that even if you're lucky enough not to have an asthma or COPD flare, it hurts everything - eyes, ears, throat. This IS ABOUT HEALTH. Health community - this is our lane. Climate change - caused by fossil fuels- is hurting our health.

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

Fox guest: There's just no health risk...We have this kind of air in India and China all the time, no public health emergency... this doesn't kill anybody, this doesn't make anybody cough, this is not a health event... particulate matter is just very fine soot, they're innocuous.

“There doesn’t need to be a trade-off between health of the patient and the health of the planet.”

Center Director @SlutzmanMD & @BrighamWomens Gregg Furie explore how climate solutions are health solutions.

As #wildfires grow increasingly severe due to climate change, so do their health harms and threats to clean air.

To protect our communities, we can no longer delay climate action and a just transition from fossil fuels. @LisaPatelMD @TODAYshow

Connect the dots: bad air quality, caused by Canadian wildfires, intensified by global warming, caused by fossil fuels, produced by companies like ExxonMobil, who lied for decades about the impacts of their product.

[Amanda Millstein, MD @AMillsteinMD]

The AQI in my hometown in New York is 250 now from the Canadian wildfires. Wildfire smoke is 10x more toxic than other forms of air pollution. If we stay on current emission trajectories we'll see an increase in wildfires by 75% by the end of the century. Let's #ActOnClimate.
