The world is on fire.
The devastating wildfires in Maui have led to at least 99 deaths with many hundreds more people unaccounted for and injured. We have seen homes and livelihoods destroyed and hospitals overwhelmed with smoke and burn victims.
These wildfires, fanned by winds from Hurricane Dora after years of drought, have undoubtedly been made worse by climate change.
We need to wake up to the fact that climate change is driving a vicious cycle of extreme weather conditions that are killing people. Without a doubt, the climate crisis is also a health crisis.
We must start reducing our greenhouse gas emissions immediately. We must invest in human well-being, such as resilient health systems that can ensure adaptation to the growing burdens of disease and impacts of extreme weather and heat that are killing us daily.
We are facing a choice. And our leaders are making the wrong one. Our very human survival is on the line. We can choose differently, and we must.
The apocalyptic challenges we confront today reflect a third pandemic — one of poor and expedient choices by world leaders, the private sector and a powerful few who drive the decisions that continue to harm our planet and its population.
We must pivot to a new ambitious path. Otherwise, our health and our survival are in peril.

It's good to have low friends in high places.
She’s also CEO of something called Seed Global Health.
Bet that could use some scrutiny.
Is this the horse faced Kerry that was bedded in a nano second by leftist loon John Cusack? Or was that a different horse faced Kerry daughter?
Oh, boy....

They were shooting up Africans with CoupFlu vaxxes?!
“after years of drought”
This is untrue. Rain levels are a little low on the island for the year. Wild fires have become the greenies favorite example of climate warming. They also have the advantage of being manmade. Lucky for us, hurricanes and tornados can’t be set.
Why isn't your "wake-up call" just another knee-jerk reaction....like calling for gun control every time a gun is fired in America?
Anything that happens is a result of climate change.
Oopsies.

Is this the one that wore the see through dress?
I hope she got her boosters.
The kerry crime family has boarded the Al Gore climate scam train many years ago
When you scream "climate change will end the world" every time it rains or snows, you damage your credibility.
This article sounds like it is written by a 4th grader. A stupid 4th grader. The rantings of extreme privilege.
Now that's what I call qualified expert credentials.
Is she the one that is married to an IRANIAN?
