While it’s true that some people have been charged with arson, it is hard to deny that the current bushfire season has not been a consequence of climate change. Ecologist and associate professor Dr. Jacquelyn Gill took to Twitter to explain how climate change affects our environment and how it was a huge factor in the current fires Australia has been experiencing. She first responded to a tweet about climate change deniers. Read More

Fat does not equal diabetes. Jillian later issued a statement and doubled down on her remarks, writing, “There are serious health consequences that come with obesity — heart disease, diabetes, cancer to name only a few.” Read More
