Food and climate change are closely linked. Not only do food systems account for ~1/4 of all heat-trapping pollution but extreme events fueled by climate change can damage crops, reduce yields, and disrupt supply chains — all of which can drive food prices higher.

Surging seas threaten to inundate 5,500 toxic sites along U.S. coasts. Legacies of discriminatory policies have left low-income neighborhoods and communities of color stuck near these sites and at greatest risk of harm.
As Seas Rise, So Do the Risks From Toxic Sites - Inside Climate News
Flooding from surging seas is likely to inundate thousands of U.S. hazardous sites in coming years as global temperatures rise, placing the nation’s most vulnerable at greatest risk.

Warmth sticks around Mon-Wed. Highs forecast to tie/break daily records.
@climatecentral.org’s Climate Shift Index shows this kind of fall warmth is now at least 2x more likely because of climate change.
