It’s too hot not to vote!
This Election Day, vote for candidates who prioritize climate change, a key factor in our extreme heat, especially in the Valley. Our warming planet threatens you and what you care about.
Climate change should top your voting list. Presidential candidates differ: Donald Trump denies it and aims to block climate accountability lawsuits. Kamala Harris supports clean energy transition, advocating for solar and wind energy expansion.
Harris understands our “planet fever” from burning fossil fuels, causing heat-related dangers. Heat increases wildfires, reduces snowfall, and raises water vapor levels.

His policies could benefit oil CEOs and escalate issues like melting pavement and rising fuel costs. NASA data reveals 2024 could surpass 2023 as the hottest year ever.
