I ran $100 billion in Infrastructure and IRA programs at EPA. We obligated over $70 billion onto signed awards and contracts to protect public health and the environment. All that funding is currently frozen. Here are the facts… 🔌💡 1/X

There's natural variability in climate, but it's never changed so rapidly and dramatically. We know it's due to humans because when we only look at the natural forcing and ignore human influence, we can't reproduce the observed changes. It's real and it's us. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Graph comparing changes in global surface temperature over time. It features two panels: the left shows reconstructed and observed temperature changes from 1850 to 2020, highlighting unprecedented warming in the last 175 years. the right shows the change in global surface temperature (annual average) from 1850 to 2020. It shows the observed temperature, along with simulated temperature with and without human influence. The simulation that doesn’t include human influence cannot reproduce what is observed.

Every pick coming out of the Trump admin:

Frame 1: A man with the seal of the United States Government superimposed over his face riding a bike.
Frame 2: The man places a stick through the spokes of the front wheel. The stick has been superimposed with the face of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the presumption selection of the Health and Human Services administration. The stick symbolizes the intentional sabotage committed by Trump to undermine the efficacy of government programs and sow distrust in institutions.
Frame 3: The man has crashed onto the ground, holding his knee. He is distraught that such a fare could have befallen him.

If the Bloor, Yonge, & University cycle tracks are removed: - Businesses along Yonge and Bloor will lose half of the people who can get there safely by bike within 30 min - Over 600,000 people will have fewer destinations accessible by bike. Check out our report 👇 drive.google.com/file/d/1L1Yz...

$If the Bloor West, Yonge, and University cycle tracks are removed, more than a quarter of Toronto’s census dissemination areas (1,019 of 3,702) will lose potential customers who can arrive safely by bike. The fractional decrease in the number of people who can access each Census Dissemination Area is shown on a scale from purple (dark) to yellow (light).$

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe
