As a climate scientist online, I get plenty of troll comments. But every now and then, there's a message that feels like a little beam of sunlight. That makes it all worthwhile. ☀️😄☀️

“It’s cold today—so much for global warming!”

Weather is like your mood, while climate is your personality. One cold day doesn’t disprove global trends. In fact, warming can even disrupt weather patterns and cause some of the wild swings we see today!

"Conservative groups, funded by fossil fuel magnates, spend $1B/yr interfering with public understanding of what is happening to our world. Few investments rival the return they've gotten from evangelicals."

An oldie but goodie makes the link between fossil fuels, climate denial, and U.S. religion.

A message from our founder and CEO on our Substack. #DutyToCare #GoEmpathySurplus open.substack.com/pub/empathys...
Governing with science comes before winning arguments or elections.
Will care or cruelty prevail? Consider joining us in 2026.

Abandoning the Executive Branch’s #TakeCare clause is deadly and cruel. #DutyToCare
Trump has ordered a massive military buildup in the Caribbean.

After months of lethal strikes at sea, Trump is threatening to expand this illegal unauthorized war to Venezuela.

We don’t need another war. We need health care for all.

NEW POST: We need a scale that isn’t riddled with false choices and bad strategy. Center v. left fails to differentiate between economics and identity or between policy and language. We don't have to choose between ideology and electability.

US billionaires are shirking their #DutyToCare and sickening, impoverishing, and killing Americans with the help of their accomplices in government at all levels.

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.

He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.

After threats & delays, the WH now says it will “comply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.

This is chaos. No way to run the government.

AI and robotics will transform our world.

Will these revolutionary technologies make life better for working people, or will they simply make the richest people on Earth even richer and more powerful?

That is the great question of our time.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks.

Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?
US Senator Sanders challenges Bezos, Amazon on automation's job impacts
"If Amazon succeeds on its massive automation plan, it will have a profound impact on blue-collar workers."

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!
