If we don't stop burning fossil fuels and rapidly eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, we will see more and more of dangerous climate impacts, like wildfires, flooding, and drought.
Smoke from wildfires in Canada has affected air quality in WV for the past couple days. Wildfires and associated pollution are impacts of climate change. These are signs of the #ClimateEmergency
