“Climate change is exacerbating these kinds of extreme weather events,” Climate Power said in a statement today. This organization repeated the records in these states, as well as in Puerto Rico, where it reached last week a heat index of up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit (51.5 degrees Celsius) and Mexico, where a third heat wave is taking place that has claimed six deaths.

Climate Power emphasized that there is an urgent need to move to clean energy and move away from the fossil fuel industry“which is the main driver of climate change”, and for this reason he deplored the steps of “the extremist MAGA of Congress”, referring to the supporters of former President Donald Trump (2017-2021).

“They are trying to reduce clean energy incentives with their pro-polluting budget plan that will increase costs for working families and line the pockets of Big Oil CEOs. They are fighting for the wrong cause,” the organization said.
