It's literally the first day of summer. Shouldn't be this hot. Record-breaking temperatures by day, by month, by year.

One of the paradoxes of climate change is that, because it's hotter, we use more energy to stay cooler. Feed into a bad cycle.
-
Fans require energy; air conditioners require *significant* of energy. That energy doesn't come out of thin air: think coal, oil, gas.
-
Who gets hardest hit? So easy to just turn on the lights but LA, where you think you get your energy from? Do we even know?
-
Did you know some of the energy we consume here in LA comes from a coal-fired power plant in.... Navajo Nation?
-
What about in LA? Where are the power plants? What do they burn to make electricity? The LADWP has 4 plants, usually burn natural gas...
-
But the agency that is supposed to control air quality in LA just allowed 3 of those four plants to burn dirty diesel!
-
And surprise! all three of those plants are in communities of color. The fourth plant is in a rich white neighborhood....

I don't find it hard to believe. I got relatives think Jesus rode dinosaurs. Guess how they feel about climate change.

this is pretty typical early summer heat when you have an El Niño to La Niña transition.
