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?!

Angry? ✅ Scared? ✅ Grieving? ✅ It’s valid to feel that way about #climatechange. Feel it—& let your feelings be a catalyst for #climateaction, incl’g holding govt accountable. On Fri, “nearly half of Michigan's 83 counties” were under a state of emergency. www.michiganpublic.org/weather/2026...

It’s unacceptable that we are in this situation, here in Michigan and everywhere else. We need to go off fossil fuels right away and transition to energy sources that don’t kill us and destroy our world. #michigan #climatechange #floods #extremeweather

Dr. Laura Carter Robinson • Humanity&Planet @humanityandplanet.com · 17/04/2026

The weather causing this heartbreaking devastation, and the unreal number of tornadoes here this year, is intensified by climate change caused by the fossil fuel industry and its allies. We need to transition to renewable energy right away and take back control of our future.

Climate psychologist in Michigan here 👋, fully supporting your message. The whole state feels like it’s under siege. A tornado landed in Ann Arbor, a 5-min drive (in an EV!!) from my house. Unreal numbers of tornadoes this year, and so early. And the devastating flooding up north is heartbreaking.

Updated by NWS to 7 tornadoes (not two as originally thought), so now 11 already this year. One of them touched down a couple of miles away and wound through Ann Arbor. Today, for the first time, our entire state is under a flood watch. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb... #climatechange #extremeweather

Michigan averages 15 tornadoes a year. Last year, there were 33. This year, so far, there have been six. Tornado season used to start in June. Lots of damage in Ann Arbor and elsewhere last night. Climate change isn’t going away. #extremeweather

Spent time in our basement with a tornado warning last night, w an ice arena wall collapsing not far from our house. A month ago, 4 people were killed 70 miles away in the earliest tornado of its size here since 1950. More tornadoes, and earlier. #climatechange www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

So frustratingly myopic of them, and sad in countless ways. Thank you for that insight and for your writing on this!

What do you attribute the pushback to, and their reluctance (for the most part) to advocate for change when they are so deeply affected? Is it the inability to see beyond business as usual even when the industry will continue to be decimated?

Do you know about climate hushing? It’s the silence about #climate change that’s fallen over media, business, & politics since Trump took office. But as this latest poll shows, 66% of Americans are worried about cc & 44% think news is underestimating its seriousness. news.gallup.com/poll/708050/...

Thanks—yes, you are of course correct; I should have worded my comment better! My point was intended to emphasize that suicide and homicide are often (and even typically) underappreciated contributors to mortality from heat.

Very important, indeed. Another aspect of heat-related mortality is the indirect deaths. E.g., increased heat leads to more suicide and homicide (and other violent crime), deaths that aren’t officially counted as heat-related.
