I'm a risk and behavioral scientist. I assess threats related to pandemics, food scarcity, over-population, and climate change.
Here's what we're not talking about enough: the frequency of global pandemics will only accelerate as climate change gets worse. /thread
A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve.
Do not forget: A Green New Deal not only helps us lead the world in combating climate change, but will create millions of good jobs in energy efficiency, sustainable energies like wind and solar, transportation and agriculture.

“Every hour, every minute, every second, counts.”

Undocumented immigrants paid $11.7 billion in state and federal taxes in 2014. Trump paid only $750 the year he became president and only $750 the next year.
He needs to stop freeloading off Americans.
Reporting is not enough.
Connecting the dots is not enough.
Mentioning the link to the climate crisis is not enough
