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!

Who gets saddled with the burden of those gigantic mansions that run air conditioning all day?

Meanwhile, they can't even set up a cooling center in South LA. Or Watts. Or Lynwood. Or Compton. Or Long Beach. None in East LA.
