Respectfully, go fu*k yourself, Lee Zeldin. You hate DEI but prop up coal - <45,000 jobs AND make 330 million Americans pay more for power to do it. #renewableenergy #Trump #climatechange

Trump gave coal $700M of your tax dollars at an event branded "Beautiful, Clean Coal." It's the dirtiest power there is and one of the priciest. He's paying $2B more to kill cheaper offshore wind. It's a con. #ClimateChange #Coal #CleanEnergy #FossilFuels

You think sea level rise is melting ice. New study in Science Advances: the biggest driver is heat - warming water expands (43% of the rise). And it's accelerating. The cause: fossil fuels. #ClimateChange #SeaLevelRise #Oceans #ClimateScience #FossilFuels

12 1

New study in Nature: large hail becomes up to 52% more common by 2100 while small hail shrinks 4–12%. Warmer air from burning fossil fuels powers the storms that grow the big, destructive stones. Hail already costs the US ~$10B a year. #climatechange #bigoil #extremeweather

AMOC weakest in 1,000 years. Warming strip off Cape Hatteras confirmed as AMOC signal. Higher sea levels from Boston to Miami. Harsher European winters. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. The ocean doesn't care about politics. #AMOC #ClimateScience #SeaLevelRise #ClimateChange #Atlantic

NPR's 10-person award-winning climate desk folded this week. CBS gutted its team after covering climate change accurately. WaPo cut 14 journalists. 1,374 broadcast minutes in 2022 → 505 in 2025. Someone has to cover this. #ClimateJournalism #NPR #WashingtonPost #CBS #ClimateChange

Ball girl nearly collapsed. Champion felt heatstroke. Djokovic walked off. It's May at Roland Garros. 33°C on court. Ruud: "zombie feeling." Diallo retired — heatstroke. France's hottest May ever. Climate change made this 4× more likely. #RolandGarros #ClimateChange #FrenchOpen

141 countries just voted at the UN to protect people from #climatechange. The US voted no. The resolution was brought by Vanuatu. They contribute 0.001% of global emissions. They're going underwater. Students started this campaign. The US called it "politically alarmist

Heatwaves 200× more likely now. Fossil fuel companies caused half the intensity increase per Nature 2025. Days above 32°C: once every 50 years → once every 5. UK homes were built for a climate that no longer exists. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. #UKHeatwave #ClimateChange #London #ExxonKnew

I make zero doing this work. Average climate scientist: $95K/year. ExxonMobil CEO: $33M last year. One workday of his pay = one year of theirs. Find the scientists. Follow them. Share their work. The fossil fuel industry has billions for PR. We have each other. #BigOil #ExxonMobil #ClimateChange

Wildfires caused by land management? 150M hectares burned - all-time record. Sea level rise manageable? Two Nature papers say projections are underestimates. Great Barrier Reef thriving? 75% bleached in 2024. Heartland did the same thing for Philip Morris. Same playbook. #climatechange

Hidden channels under Antarctic ice amplify melt rates 10x. That meltwater changes ocean circulation, making it worse. A feedback loop IPCC models don't account for. West Antarctica alone = 3.3 meters of sea level rise. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. #Antarctica #SeaLevelRise #IceShelf #ClimateChange

WWA analysis: 25% of 104 matches hit dangerous heat thresholds. 5 games expected to exceed FIFPRO's safety limit - double 1994. A ref already collapsed at Copa America in KC. Cities are 0.7°C hotter. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. Saudi Arabia hosts in 2034. #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #WorldCup

408 billion tonnes of ice lost in 2025. 4× higher than late 20th century melt rates. All 19 glacier regions lost ice last year - 4th year in a row. 2 billion people depend on this water. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. Trump repealed the only law requiring them to cut emissions. #ClimateChange

Burgum: solar makes "zero electricity" at night. A lawmaker submitted a battery to the record. US battery storage hit a record last year. Strait of Hormuz closed. $110 oil. Engineers solved the sun going down. Nobody solved a foreign nation controlling your supply. #climatechange #Trump

150M hectares burned in 4 months. All-time record. El Niño hasn't even arrived. The UN says these fires are driven by coal, oil and gas. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. Trump just repealed the only law requiring them to cut emissions. #WildfireAlert #ClimateChange #BigOil #ExxonKnew #ClimateScience

Tulane's Jesse Keenan: crossed the point of no return. 3-7m sea level rise. 62 miles of shoreline migration. A football field of land lost every 100 minutes. Coordinated retreat or chaos. That's the only choice left. #BigOil #NewOrleans #ClimateChange #SeaLevelRise #ManagedRetreat #ClimateScience

"We didn't drill enough" Reality: 13.2M barrels/day in 2024 EPA Administrator: "Better for our environment" Reality: US is world's largest methane emitter, 70% higher than EPA admits This is fossil fuel propaganda from the agency supposed to protect us from fossil fuels. #ClimateChange #EPA

She said do your research. I have a meteorology degree. Cited a political scientist as a climate expert. Showed ice core CO2 and called it reassuring. Left out: today's rate is 100x faster than anything in that record. That's her own chart working against her. #BigOil #ClimateChange #Meteorologist

RCP8.5 was retired because clean energy worked and the assumptions were unrealistic. That's science doing its job. #climatechange

67% of major coastal cities already losing sea breeze days. Ocean warming too fast. Engine stalling. Under high emissions — another 27% gone by 2050. ExxonMobil knew in 1977. And they knew. #SeaBreeze #ClimateChange #BigOil #CoastalCities #Science

They fired the referees. Trump fired all 22 members of the National Science Board, which oversees the NSF, the body that funds climate research protecting your community. One email. No explanation. Big Oil bought the team. #ClimateScience #BigOil #TrumpScience #Science

Zeldin said Gore declared "global freezing." The host, an actor, said that. Gore immediately said No. No. No. Zeldin put the actor's words in Gore's mouth. That's not a mistake. That's a paid service for Big Oil. #ClimateScience #AMOC #EPA

James Hansen just dropped a paper this morning. 2026 = hottest year ever. 2027 = hotter. Warming rate doubled since 2015. Florence Nightingale called the last monster El Niño "the most hideous record of human suffering the world has ever seen." That was on a cooler planet. #ClimateChange #ElNino

TikTok removed my last video and censored yesterday's. The topic was the Trump administration handing nearly two billion dollars of your tax money to fossil fuel companies as a written condition of killing American wind energy. Every single fact came directly from a federal government press release.

8 states. All-time snowpack lows. Same day. 155 million Americans in drought…up 7 million in one week. Hoover Dam could lose 40% of its electricity by fall. Thank Big Oil. #climatechange #bigoil #drought

61% of the Lower 48 in drought. 97% of the Southeast. VPD, how aggressively the atmosphere pulls moisture from the ground, is 77% above normal and 25% beyond any previous record for this time of year. UCLA: this "wouldn't have appeared possible before now." #drought #climate #EPA

Earth Day 2026. The man running the EPA was put there by an industry that spent $219M to elect this government. His own agency projects 200,000 additional deaths from his rollbacks through 2050. #EarthDay #EPA #ClimateChange

New Gallup poll just dropped — and the contradiction is wild. 63% say we're not doing enough. 55% don't think it'll hit them personally. Spoiler: it already has. Big Oil to blame for that 55%. #ClimateChange #FossilFuels #EarthDay2026 #ClimateScience #fy

$1 billion in propaganda. Zero salaries paid. Gloucester's comment section did it for free. The Heartland Institute, American Petroleum Institute, and Heritage Foundation spent decades manufacturing the exact opinion that showed up in those comments. #BigOil #ClimateChange

On March 31 the Endangered Species Committee, a panel that met 3 times in 48 years, convened for 15 minutes and unanimously exempted Gulf oil drilling from the ESA. Justification: national security. #RicesWhale #ClimateChange #EndangeredSpecies #Trump

114 gray whales tracked in SF Bay. Nearly 1 in 5 died there. Arctic waters up 13°F. Sea ice down 95%. Food web gone. Population down 50% since 2016. Fossil fuels did this. The EPA just stopped regulating them. #GrayWhale #ClimateChange #Science #Meteorologist #Arctic #ElNino

AMOC is weakening and won't recover once it collapses. The point of no return was 350ppm CO₂ - crossed in 1988, now we're at 430 today. Gulf Stream early warnings already showing in satellite data. Fossil fuels knew. #AMOC #ClimateChange #GulfStream #Science #Meteorologist

The 16th Annual International Conference on Climate Change (Denial). These assholes have spent 40 years poisoning the well — politicizing settled science, radicalizing the misinformed. The death threat I received didn't come out of nowhere. They built that. Respectfully, fuck them. #climatechange

9 4

Climate realists walked in and dropped truth bombs. This is how the 16th International Conference on Climate Change responded. "Fake news." "Total disgrace." "What freaks." "You losers." "This is when you know you're winning." They were not winning. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateDenier #FossilFuels

At a DC climate conference this week a senior AEI fellow compared climate advocates to Nazi propagandists. This conference informed the report used to kill the EPA Endangerment Finding. 2024: hottest year on record. Heat deaths (65+): +167% since the 1990s. #ClimateScience #ClimateChange #Science

112°F in March. 7,000+ records broken. 12 states set all-time March highs. The U.S. anomaly was +3.7°C. World Weather Attribution: virtually impossible without climate change. That floor was built by burning fossil fuels. And we're still burning them. #ClimateChange #ExtremeHeat #March2026

108°F in North Shore, California this week — tying the highest March temperature ever recorded in the US. Palm Springs forecast: 110°F. A June number. In March. Fossil fuels shifted the baseline. This is what that looks like. #ExtremeHeat #California #HeatWave #ClimateChange #Wildfire

People say the "green agenda" funds my climate content. I took a $60K salary cut. Paid out of pocket to leave my contract. After a death threat. Fossil fuels spent $750M lobbying against climate science between 2008–2022. You tell me who's getting paid. #climatechange #ExxonKnew

47 years of ripping solar panels off the roof. Carter installed them. Reagan removed them. They killed the climate bill. Left Paris. Tariffed solar. Gutted the IRA on July 4th. Slipped a sunshine tax into a bill nobody could explain. Shut down a wind farm that was 80% built. #Iran #climatechange

Earth is literally getting darker. NASA has been tracking how much sunlight our planet reflects back into space for 22 years. It's called albedo. And it's falling off a cliff. Less ice. Fewer clouds. More heat absorbed. It's a feedback loop that's accelerating itself. #ClimateChange

Last night #Colbert was censored by his own network. Kimmel was pulled off the air last year. The same thing happened to me in 2022… I just didn't have a late night show. I was a meteorologist who got recruited to cover climate science, then told to stop saying " #climagechange.” #censorship

Every Winter Olympics host city since 1950 has gotten warmer. Vancouver airlifted snow. Sochi hit 60°F. Beijing used 100% fake snow. Salt Lake City hosts in 2034 — and has 0.1" of snow this season. Normal is 37+". Winter is changing. 🌡️ #Olympics #climatechange

EPA administrator repealed the legal basis for every federal climate regulation He spent most of the announcement complaining about his car turning off at red lights. called it "the obama switch." EDF says this will lead to 77,000 early deaths and $3.9 trillion in damage. #EPA #climatechange

11 4

Trump's EPA just repealed the Endangerment Finding. That was the legal basis for ALL federal greenhouse gas regulation. Then he ordered the Pentagon to buy coal. It's not a policy. It's a bailout. #EPAEndangermentFinding #FollowTheMoney #CoalBailout #ClimateRegulation #RenewableEnergy #EPA
