The loss of these marine forests has been a hard blow to commercial fishermen and towns that thrive on tourism related to abalone and red urchin fishing. More communities are at risk as the climate continues to change.

This is what climate change looks like: Northern California has lost 93% of its underwater kelp forests in just five years. A marine heatwave helped trigger a population boom for purple urchins, which devoured the kelp.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1054564841539715072 …

Many Republicans refuse to admit that climate change is real, but hardworking Americans are seeing it affect their livelihoods already. From vanishing kelp forests and fish populations to increasingly intense wildfires, it’s clear we can’t wait to act.

Horrifying. I’ve been a scuba diver for 35 years. In the 90’s we’d take (harvest) the purple urchin with our knives & feed them to fish. We knew they were cutting into the kelp bed population. Groups have also been trying to replant the kelp beds with spores on tiles.

Maybe California should spend more money on their environment instead of on sanctuary cities and lame campaigns against the President.

Someone is attempting to murder Democrats. Where is the outrage?! What will it take to end your business as usual attitude?

An unnerving lack of self-awareness. All of this has happened under Dianne's watch, but she doesn't for even a millisecond seem to grasp that. Somehow everything is always someone else's fault.
