Dear NRDC Supporter,

Our thoughts and hearts are with the people whose lives
have been upended by the catastrophic wildfires that have burned
tens of thousands of acres in the Los Angeles area and across
Southern California.

NRDC not only has a significant number of trustees and
staff — including me — who live in the LA area, but we have
thousands of members and supporters, many of whom have been
directly affected. The devastation is gut-wrenching, and the
region will be forever changed by the events of the last week.

The LA fires have killed at least two dozen people,
displaced thousands, and destroyed more than 12,000 structures.
100,000 people are still under evacuation orders.

And with hundreds of billions in losses so far, the blaze
is already the most expensive wildfire in U.S. history and will
have economic repercussions for decades.

These are the real-life, painful, and rising costs of the
climate crisis on full display. Here's what you need to know:

* 2024 was the hottest year on record globally
* The wildfires were intensified by rising temperatures, powerful
winds, and drought conditions exacerbated by climate change, all
of which also make it harder for firefighters to put them out
* Inhaling wildfire smoke can have devastating impacts on human
health, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems,
and cancer, which can lead to death
* Wildfire smoke can travel hundreds to thousands of miles from
the actual flames — and have dangerous consequences for air
quality along the way
* Wildfires can pollute waterways and drinking water, releasing
toxic chemicals into our water systems
* The LA region has long been plagued by a severe shortage of
affordable housing — the crisis will only make it worse,
especially for low-income residents

This is not the time for misinformation and scoring cheap
political points at the expense of people whose lives are
upended. And no one should be threatening to withhold urgently
needed assistance as political payback.

This is a moment for leaders at every level, and for all of
us across the country, to stand with our neighbors in a great
American city in their hour of need and let them know they're not
alone. A time to look in the mirror and make up our minds to
rally around the people of Los Angeles.

These fires — and how our leaders respond to them —
underscore the importance of fighting the climate crisis and
protecting people in the face of increasingly frequent and
intense extreme weather events.

With President-elect Trump taking office on Monday, and our
climate and clean energy progress on the chopping block, it's a
fight that's going to take all of us working together — and the
stakes are simply too high to lose.

Sincerely,

Joel Reynolds
