It’s All Connected:
Heat, drought, hurricanes, wildfires and floods.
Climate change is supercharging disasters. Scientific research tells us that burning fossil fuels creates a pollution blanket that heats the Earth, leading to more extreme weather – including wildfires, droughts, floods, storms and heatwaves.
Extreme Weather is getting more extreme.
Wildfires, droughts, floods, storms, and heatwaves are growing stronger and more frequent.
Studies link fossil fuel use to more wildfires, hurricanes, and heat waves. These changes threaten the safety of our families and communities.
The good news is, by working together and making smart choices,
we can reduce risks and support a safer future.
