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.

[WV Climate Alliance @WVClimateAction]

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
that we all face.

[WV Climate Alliance @WVClimateAction]

Stay safe and inside to protect yourself from wildfire smoke pollution. This poor air quality is just one example of the many impacts caused by our collective #ClimateEmergency. Burning any more fossil fuels will lead to even more of these dangerous impacts. #ClimateActionNow

[WV Dept. of Environmental Protection @DEPWV]
