Los Angeles is burning. Fossil fuel companies laid the kindling. Soon the world will stop caring. If we don't demand better from the rich & powerful who can do more than anyone to slow the climate crisis, the fires will change nothing. My @latimes column:

If you think America’s finally going to deal with global warming because L.A. is burning, think again.

Today I am in Diamond Bar with @SierraClub to remind @SouthCoastAQMD that they have an obligation to directly regulate port emissions and clean up deadly pollution. It's time to listen to the community and hold polluters accountable to reducing emissions.

📷@SouthCoastAQMD — there’s been nearly no healthy air days for months. Another heatwave just means even more polluted air. We need urgent action to clean up the biggest polluters with a #StrongISR for ports. @LongBeachMayor & @MayorOfLA

The month kicked off with triple-digit temperatures in many parts of the state, with millions of Californians under heat advisories through at least Thursday.

It’s time for SoCal’s air regulators to build the political will and shape an Indirect Source Rule to shift port operations to zero emissions
