The climate crisis is bad and getting worse every day. Here is a map showing the dangerous temperature increases that have occurred in the United States due to carbon pollution between 1970 and 2020.
These unprecedented temperature increases are destabilizing our climate in alarming ways. Here in California we have experienced devastating drought, extreme heat, huge wildfires, and an intense series of atmospheric river rainstorms.
It’s clear we must quickly and decisively reduce our emissions from fossil fuel use. Acting now to limit our carbon pollution, and stabilize our climate, will be much less costly than continuing to suffer from its dangerous consequences.
