As LA wildfires devastate communities with up to $275B in damages, the science is clear: pollution from fossil fuel companies is fueling this crisis. It's time they pay their fair share instead of passing costs to taxpayers. #MakePollutersPay #SB684 #AB1243 #CALeg calmatters.org/commentary/2...

For too long, fossil fuel polluters have profited while Californians bear the cost of wildfires, floods & rising insurance rates. AB 1243, the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act, holds them accountable by requiring the biggest polluters to help cover climate disaster costs—not taxpayers.

I've spent much of my career pushing the Forest Service to better protect wildlife, waters & wildlands. Firing people who care about these places, hollowing out the agency, making agency jobs unappealing, & lowering morale won't preserve the lands we love! We need these dedicated public servants!

The #lafires are reviving calls for a climate superfund. 🌟 Taxpayers are shouldering 100% of the burden of climate-fueled disasters. A climate superfund law would take some of the burden off Californians. #MakePollutersPay www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/c...

As icy weather descends, furnaces across the country light up. So why did President Trump sign an executive order that makes heating our homes more expensive? He wants to export LNG abroad so that #BigOil CEOs can maximize profit. He knows doing so will raise our heating bills.
