): Thanks for publishing this and the two other articles Sunday regarding the broad effects of climate change on people’s lives. I am old enough to remember the Cuyahoga River in Ohio in 1969 catching fire due to pollution. Now fish swim in it again. Americans at that time decided they had had enough of polluted waterways and lobbied Congress to pass the Environmental Protection Act in 1970 and Clean Water Act in 1972.
I encourage people to do the same thing now to address climate change. Send your elected representatives emails supporting climate initiatives. Details about bipartisan carbon fee and dividend legislation, permitting reform and upgrading our national grid can be found on the Citizens’ Climate Lobby website. This outreach takes only a few minutes and their offices will respond. We can’t risk worsening wildfires, floods and increasing food prices.
