Climate change DEFINITELY affects hurricane:

STRENGTH: Warmer water is hurricane food

RAINFALL: Warm air holds more water vapor

SURGE: Warmer water expands, warmer ice melts, sea levels rise

PREDICTION: hotter seas mean faster intensification

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today.

Charlie Kirk was no exception.
Charlie Kirk's extremism was fossil fueled
Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

The EPA is required to protect the American people from dangerous pollution. Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin are abandoning this mission.

We will use every legal means available to challenge it. We'll see the Trump administration in court.

Today, the Trump admin announced its decision to repeal the endangerment finding – the single most important provision authorizing the US government to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions and fight climate change. This unprecedented decision is reckless, detached from reality, and will cost lives.

#AQMDChatter - this feels like a December 2015 moment at South Coast AQMD. The fossil fuel industry overplayed their hand and those who actually care about health were able to achieve even greater things. On Monday, we get back to work. Board members that voted “no” will understand we don’t give up.

#AQMDChatter - heading into the summer break, the AQMD Board has adopted zero consequential emission reducing rules this year. Today, the Board could have saved 2,490 lives, but chose not to. I think breathers should head there in August and ask the Board’s what’s up.

Trump wasted over 5 BILLION GALLONS of reservoir water that was meant for California's summer citrus-growing season. None of that wasted water reached L.A., where the fires, by the way, were already under control (and had nothing to do with water shortages). This was no mistake. This was SABOTAGE.
CBS NEWS: “.. the water released from dams at Lake Kaweah and Lake Success is rushing into a dry lakebed in the Central Valley, where experts say it can't flow to Southern California and will likely go to waste.”
