#LosAngeles is burning again. The catastrophic fires reveal #health consequences of #wildfire.

Which resilient future do you want?
Trump's? He killed the national flood standard requiring elevation of buildings in areas at flood risk where federal dollars are used

Or CT Gov. Lamont's? He seeks new resilience measures for extreme weather, including stronger building & land use practices

With Trump’s exit from the #Paris #climate agreement, all countries—including the US—should amp #adaptation efforts. “Drill, baby, drill” =“Fry, baby, fry.”As CA’s #wildfires have revealed we don’t know how to adapt to the heat that’s already here—much less what’s ahead www.cnn.com/2025/01/20/c...

LA faces two choices as it rebuilds: 1) put everything back as it was or 2) rebuild a climate-resilient city.

With more climate-fueled wildfire on the horizon, LA has to pick 2. Otherwise property insurers will exit.
