Extreme #heat kills more people than other extreme weather events. The word here isn’t “gentler”; it’s “deadlier.” Inexcusable headline (surprise, surprise) from the @nytimes.com. #climatechange

Everything about this is extraordinarily disturbing (including the Mar-a-Lago face). Kids’ socioemotional development comes from interacting with *humans*. And Native American kids should not be put through this. Instead of #AI, #fascism, and #climate change, how about we start taking care of kids?!

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.
