We are witnessing a genuinely extraordinary, and regionally quite deadly and destructive, period for extreme #weather in the United States. And, quite frankly, the fingerprints of #ClimateChange are all over what has transpired in recent weeks and may yet occur in coming days.
In the last decade, Californians have endured severe droughts, floods, historic wildfires, rising seas, and record temperatures all driven by #climatechange.

“As we confront worsening climate impacts in California, we realize that many other places across the world are in the same boat,” said Wade Crowfoot, California Natural Resources Secretary. “Governments like ours in regions with Mediterranean climates are battling intensifying droughts, extreme heat and wildfires. Now, through the Mediterranean Climate Action Partnership that we’ve come together to establish, we are helping each other adapt and better protect our people from these threats. This alliance will become even more important in the years to come.”
