What to Say:
A year ago this week, one of the deadliest wildfires in the U.S. in over a century destroyed lives and communities in Lahaina. Climate change has been shown to worsen the impacts of these extreme weather events, underscoring the need to #ActOnClimate. #ClimateFriday
One year after the tragic Maui wildfires, the threat of wildfires and other #ExtremeWeatherSZN events have only grown worse. We must continue to slash climate pollution and build resilience against the devastating impacts of climate change. #ClimateFriday
As we’ve seen with #Debby and other extreme weather events in VT, OR, CA and elsewhere, climate change has placed communities everywhere at a greater risk of being upended. On #ClimateFriday, let’s #ActOnClimate to prevent #ExtremeWeatherSZN from becoming costlier.
From Georgia and South Carolina to California and Oregon, this #ExtremeWeatherSZN is setting records. The evidence is clear: we must #ActOnClimate! #ClimateFriday
