Meteorologists have never seen a storm like this. It took under 2 days for Melissa to grow from a tropical storm to one of the largest Atlantic hurricanes of all time. How did this even happen? Watch this to see how climate change is supercharging hurricanes. #ThisisClimateChange

Megafires used to be rare, but now it seems like there’s a new one every day. Even worse, they are showing up and burning down places we never thought possible. So what’s really going on? Is climate change to blame? Watch this to find out more. #ThisIsClimateChange

Even if you are nowhere near a wildfire, you can still be killed by one. In the aftermath of a fire, smoke can travel thousands of miles. Hidden in that smoke is something deadly, and it may be heading towards you right now. What's going on? #ThisIsClimateChange

When this 25-year-old suddenly passed away, his family was horrified and confused, but it turns out his death was entirely preventable. Roendy Granillo died of heat stroke while at work, and it’s a massive problem affecting workers across the United States. #ThisIsClimateChange

A 30-foot wall of water hit Texas, killing over 100 people, including children. How likely is this kind of flood to happen where you live? The answer can be explained by rolling the dice. Except these days, the game is getting more rigged.

The land of former slave plantations now houses 200 petrochemical plants that poison the air between Baton Rouge and #NewOrleans. What could a #tourism board possibly say to justify this? This imaginary postcard gives one answer. Sign up for alerts from RISE St. James: bit.ly/3GpPLTX.

The #petrochemicalindustry came to Mossville, and Mossville paid the price. But two longtime friends are not going to let spills, explosions, or cancer stop them from fighting to protect the rest of their Southwest Louisiana home. Go to bit.ly/3HSNFw3 to learn more.

Communities in #CancerAlley are trying to preserve the history of their ancestors who were enslaved at the Orange Grove Plantation. But first they need to take down the #pollutingindustry that now wants to build on the land. Go to earthjustice.org/orangegrove to take action now!

When #JohnsHopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. What does it mean for the people there? Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

Mill 19 used to be one of the largest steel mills in the country, but was abandoned when Pennsylvania's steel industry collapsed. Now it has found new life as a high-tech robotics hub, powered in part by solar energy. See how America can build things again at bit.ly/42us5VE.

A steel plant just north of Pittsburgh is reimagining what steel can be. By replacing its dirty gas-fired furnaces with clean electric induction ones, Butler Works is saving money, time, and jobs. The union workers at the plant are thrilled. Go to bit.ly/42us5VE to learn more.
