As crews have fought the fires across the L.A. area, they have repeatedly been hampered by low water pressure and fire hydrants that have gone dry.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
