A Texas highway got so hot this summer it literally exploded and launched a truck into the air. Climate change is pushing America’s aging infrastructure to its limits. Climate solutions are PERMANENT solutions.

The Pentagon is sitting on 165 wind project reviews, even on private land. Energy demand is growing and climate change is worsening extreme weather. Blocking clean energy makes no sense, we need power that doesn't cook the planet.

Deadly flash floods just tore through the Grand Canyon. A record-warm Pacific is loading our skies with extra moisture and supercharging downpours like this one. Climate change is happening now, not a distant threat. We need to act on climate now. https://t.co/X7PhuYpwIM

Crews from several agencies came together to battle a rapidly growing fire in northwestern Nevada, which spread to over 30,000 acres since igniting on Tuesday.

BREAKING: One person died and 15 others are missing or unaccounted for after a major flash flood at the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service said the body of a 46-year-old man was recovered near Crystal Rapids along the Colorado River. https://t.co/x2QUbdhk2n

Hikers and campers scrambled for cover as a storm triggered heavy rain and flash flooding in the Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch regions of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. The storm caused significant damage to nearby footbridges and trails, according to the National Park Service.

This might be the coolest summer of the rest of our lives 🌡️

[Climate Action Campaign @actonclimateUS]

Fewer summer storms does not mean less risk. It only takes one landfall to devastate a community, and climate change continues to make the storms we do get more intense. Have your emergency plan ready now, before you need it.

This morning, I stood with Houston workers on the front lines of extreme heat.

I grew up picking cotton under the Texas sun. I know how dangerous that heat can be.

That’s why I’m fighting to pass the Construction Injury Prevention Act. Protecting workers is about safety, dignity, and respect. Every worker deserves to come home safe at the end of the day.

Esta mañana, estuve con trabajadores de Houston que trabajan bajo el calor extremo.

Yo crecí recogiendo algodón bajo el sol de Texas. Yo sé lo peligroso que ese calor puede ser.

Por eso estoy luchando para que se apruebe el Acta de Prevención de Lesiones en la Construcción (Construction Injury Prevention Act). Proteger a los trabajadores se trata de seguridad, dignidad y respeto. Cada trabajador merece llegar a casa sano y salvo al final del día.

Dolly Parton's reminds us that caring for the Earth starts with paying attention to how we treat it. From our mountains to our communities, climate change is already reshaping the places we call home.

Climate change is making these "record" days more and more common, putting our health and our futures at risk.

[NWS Phoenix @NWSPhoenix]

Phoenix Sky Harbor reached 115° this afternoon. This sets a new daily record high temperature and was 10° above normal for today's date. #azwx

A judge ruled a top FEMA official was illegally fired for doing her job. Under Trump’s Polluters First Agenda, we can’t expect real climate solutions when those protecting communities are punished. https://t.co/dT6czIV798

Heat exhaustion is preventable and working through it shouldn’t be the norm. Everyone deserves a safe workplace.

As temperatures rise, so do we! Join us for Heat Week to share our experiences and learn how working people are fighting for heat protections.

It's been 12 days without power in Gary, Indiana after deadly flooding. Gary is nearly 80% Black, and civil rights leaders say the slow recovery isn't coincidence, it's a pattern. Climate change keeps hitting our most vulnerable communities hardest.

The strongest heat dome on the entire planet right now is sitting over the American South. Over 100 million people are facing dangerous heat and humidity this week. Without climate solutions, this is the sick “new normal” climate change is writing for us.
