I'm a risk and behavioral scientist. I assess threats related to pandemics, food scarcity, over-population, and climate change. Here's what we're not talking about enough: the frequency of global pandemics will only accelerate as climate change gets worse. /thread

We are accustomed to free weather forecasting. What is now we need to pay for our tornado warnings because of dangerous Project 2025? Read my full article in @Forbes: https://t.co/8VKQCwgRjh

This:
“We had one of the deadliest hurricanes in American history…President Biden and Vice President Harris were down there meeting with local officials, and comforting families, asking how they could help. And Donald Trump at a rally just started making up stories.” —@BarackObama

“If carbon emissions are causing climate change…” Giving @JDVance a bullhorn to America tonight is just as dangerous as Trump speaking. This continued assault on science is inherent to the current Republican ticket. This reality alone is why Kamala-Walz are the only option

We’ve been calling for Tay to invoke her Swiftie army. It’s the behavioral (voting) game changer when a trusted source contributes their voice!
Taylor Swift knows the stakes—support leaders who truly fight for us. That’s why she’s backing @KamalaHarris, because we need someone in the White House who will tackle the climate crisis head-on and champion our rights 💚

What she said 👇🏽
This election is about trust. One candidate tells you she’ll work to help American families build wealth… while another candidate shows off his wealth from a members-only golf club. The contrast & choice couldn’t be any more clear.

As I said to the @nytimes last week, the writing is on the wall, and Donald Trump would set us backward. Here are the top four contrasts between the 2 candidates: 1. Kamala Harris upholds cost savings for the middle class, while Donald Trump supports tax breaks for billionaires.
