So if we agree #tobacco is bad for our health, when can we agree that #airpollution is causing premature deaths in Americans and people around the world, as much or if not more. Transition to #cleanenergy & #electricvehickes are treatments for this disease. Why are we waiting? #climatehealth

Five Americans die every hour from toxic vehicle emissions, study finds

Research suggests 41,800 premature US deaths in 2024 were attributable to road pollution

Why are America automakers going to fail? Because they fall back to ICE vehicles instead of embracing the global #electricvehicle trend. The feast was before them and they crumbled. Meanwhile CATL works on sodium based batteries The writing is on the wall & air pollution in our lungs.

When people ask what the war is about- answer is simple money & oil- its always about oil. In Iraq, what was our first objective- an oil field. 😠 Before the war we had a 1-3 million barrel/day surplus and now we have a shortage with high prices/profits. Hmmmmm.

Parasite Big Oil making billions frying the planet $30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers Saudi Arabia, Russia and major fossil fuel firms set to make extra $234bn by end of 2026 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is it sketchy that oil production was 1-3 million barrels/day surplus to bombing Iran and now with 30-40% production reduction leading to a 11 million barrel/day shortage and high prices? Seems like a great way to stimulate profits #BigOil Good news is bigger interest in #EVs War still sucks

Had two heat related illnesses in kids yesterday 1. Asthma exacerbation that heat triggers 2. Headache and vomiting because lived with no AC unit. Asthma, respiratory illness, cardiovascular, kidney disease are all worse with heat. Sucks to care for sick kids from our fossil fuel addiction

23 years ago I was in a different desert #Iraq with a different purpose Thankful for all my brothers, those that came home & those I keep in my heart. From someone who has been to war, it sucks & I don’t wish it on anyone I pray for those who lives are affected by those whose lives are not
