We’re Science Moms, a nonpartisan group of scientists and mothers who are concerned about how #ClimateChange threatens our children. Follow us to learn more about what’s happening to their planet. l8r.it/msaO
We know that heat-trapping pollution from fossil fuels is ramping up climate change, making extreme weather more frequent and severe. That means back-to-back heatwaves and historically high temperatures across much of the U.S. this summer.
Being honest with each other about the heat can help move our communities towards solutions, like clean energy.
Heat-trapping pollution from climate change is making bills higher than ever before. Someone you know might be struggling to pay their energy bill this summer. So let’s talk about it, because rising energy demands affect us all.
As heat-trapping pollutants increase, classrooms get hotter, smokier, and it becomes harder to learn.
With wildfires more than doubling since the 1980s, we’re risking both our children’s lungs, and their futures.
Heat and smoke have also led to a surge in sports practice cancellations
So whether they’re a jock, or a bookworm, every child is affected by a changing climate.
Heat-trapping pollution is changing the climate and that means much hotter days for most of us, including summer athletes.
Watching them compete in dangerously high temperatures highlights how important it is to keep fighting climate change. We want our kids, our athletes, everyone, to feel safe and happy being outside.
Small talk is starting to get real. As climate change makes extreme heat more common, more of us are starting to notice the impacts the weather is having on our daily lives.
A clean energy win is a win for our kids’ future.
In May, solar energy production in the United States surpassed coal production for the first time, marking a major milestone for clean energy.
Help keep up the momentum. Share this post to keep the climate conversation going.

This is what climate change feels like for families in Arizona right now. Unnatural. Unsafe. Unfair.
Record-breaking heat came three weeks earlier than expected this year, bringing dangerous temperatures to communities far sooner than usual.
This heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous. Pollution from burning fossil fuels is driving more intense, longer, and deadlier heat waves.
Heat is now the deadliest weather event in the U.S.
It hits kids, the elderly, and low-income families hardest.
It drives up hospital visits, energy bills, and emotional stress.
This is the human cost of climate change and it’s personal. As moms, we see what’s at stake.
As this major winter storm moves across the country, millions of families are facing ice, power outages, and unsafe conditions.
Communities in the South are especially at risk, with limited infrastructure to handle prolonged freezing weather. Local groups are working around the clock to keep people safe with heat, food, and emergency supplies.
@WeRebuildUs is getting flexible resources directly to trusted organizations on the ground. Your support can help families stay warm and safe as this storm continues.
If you are able, consider donating. donate.rebuild.us/page/FUNET…
So yes, climate change can mean warmer averages and more extreme cold at the same time.
It’s not a contradiction. It’s a climate system that’s out of balance.
And understanding what’s happening helps us better protect our families, our communities, and the systems we rely on.

Extreme Weather is getting more extreme. Wildfires, droughts, floods, storms, and heatwaves are growing stronger and more frequent.
Studies link fossil fuel use to more wildfires, hurricanes, and heat waves. These changes threaten the safety of our families and communities.
The good news is, by working together and making smart choices, we can reduce risks and support a safer future.

SOS! Save our summers! Extreme weather is changing summer, but it doesn’t have to steal it. Let’s keep our families safe and protect the summers our kids deserve.

In the wake of the devastating floods in Kerr County, we’re partnering with All Hands and Hearts, a disaster relief organization that’s currently on the ground in Texas.
Donations to the org go directly towards aiding with search & rescue efforts, temporary housing for displaced families, debris clean up, removing hazardous trees and more.
If you have the means, we hope you’ll consider donating to AHAH. Every dollar will make it easier for families to clean up, rebuild, and heal from this climate disaster.

Carbon pollution from burning fossil fuels doesn’t just warm the planet — it pollutes the air our kids breathe. More heat means more smog, more wildfire smoke, and more health risks for little lungs.
Dr. Burt studies Arctic clouds and sea ice to understand climate change and makes STEM more inclusive at CSU. Her love for science started young—reading the weather section with her grandfather—and now she’s passing that curiosity to her daughter. Science helps shape a better future for our kids!
