Ancient sequoia trees have endured centuries of fires, John.
But every single year the summers are longer and hotter, and the wildfires that threaten them get worse.
More than 3,600 giant sequoia trees burned down in California last year. The year before, 10,000 of the giants — up to 14 percent of the world's total — were destroyed. And right now even more sequoias are being threatened by spreading wildfires.1
Enough is enough, John. It's time the media and the world hold the fossil fuel industry accountable. That starts with us taking action together today, John:
There is no denying the link between fossil fuels and climate disasters. And it's not only affecting the sequoias in California:
And if that's not bad enough, there were Jello-green skies over South Dakota as a derecho — defined as a powerful wind storm extending more than 240 miles — blew across the Plains.2
It is more important now than ever before that the media, the public, and our politicians hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for causing this devastation.
Thank you for adding your name today. Stay safe out there.
