Letters to the Editor: 'Eyeball-stinging heat' — fossil fuel companies are doing this to us (via latimesopinion )

This is what climate change feels like — “eyeball-stinging heat.” Our planet has not been this hot in 125,000 years.

The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. Too many news articles like this one fail readers by not more prominently connecting the dots to the fossil fuel industry.Eighty percent of all the energy used in the world today comes from fossil fuels, yet affordable clean energy like solar and wind is readily available to replace them. Through deceit, deception and delay, this industry and its political allies use their power to protect this pernicious business.

No one extreme weather event is solely due to climate change. However, the frequency and severity of heat, droughts, wildfires, excess rain and other damaging weather incidents are part of our new climate pattern, and it’s increasingly a threat to all of us.Advertisement
