A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.

Instead of addressing the fact that the corporate giant has twice the serious injury rate of other warehouses, they tried to hide it.
