Thrilled to see our latest research on the health benefits of reducing fossil fuel related air pollution featured in the New York Times today! #cleanair #climateaction #COP30 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/c...

Our new Commentary is out in the ATS ANNALS on the US Clean Air Act's history, successes, threats, and recommended future directions! See: www.atsjournals.org/doi/epdf/10....

My advice to climate action advocates for progress: focus on clean air action. #cleanair, #climatechange, #climateaction, #environment, #globalwarming, #blueskyday

Toxic coal constituents (e,g, Arsenic) in the coal are volatilized by the pyrolysis process, and vented to the ambient air, where they cool and condense into especially toxic particles for all to breathe.

Our plot of the plummeting local pediatric asthma emergency department visits following the coal coking plant closure is especially striking

Our new study documenting dramatic respiratory health benefits following the closure of a fossil fuel coal coking plant is out! Pediatric asthma Emergency Dept. visits were especially reduced. Transitioning away from fossil fuels will yield a healthier humanity. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/...

Fantastic new cancer cure research funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH R21CA252519) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI P30CA008748), We should save NIH and NCI so they can keep saving lives. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/h...

It’s Orwellian.

It’s early Congestion Pricing days, but“data gathered by Streetsblog NYC indicating a 51 percent drop in crash-related injuries in the program’s first 12 days compared to the same time period the prior year.” www.planetizen.com/news/2025/01...

The news article said that.

Another survey finds that the public trusts scientists. So why have most scientists not used their voice to advance climate change mitigation action? We need to step up, use the platform that we have earned, and help make that change we want to see! theconversation.com/most-of-us-t...

This Monday I'll be a speaker at this ISEE scientific webinar on "Testifying before Congress" to teach other scientists how to get involved, and how to succeed at it. I hope they will! (lnkd.in/eWRSHDvP)

Just one study unable to detect a trend is not sufficient for much attention. It may lack power. Or fail to consider all variables. Need more investigations to reach a consensus.

We also should not conclude that there is no problem from one study.

It’s not right to say this study found that the AMOC has not declined. There is a lot of variation here. Not being able to detect something with your data and methods does not mean it is not happening. But, that said, I hope it isn’t.

New coal plant denied! “on the basis that there was insufficient consideration of the harms and the limitation of rights of present and future generations…from building new coal-fired electricity generation” Once those are considered, they r not justified vs. alternatives.
