"Devastating flooding in St. Louis & Kentucky is a direct result of the escalating climate crisis.

"The continued burning of dangerous fossil fuels not only threatens our air and water quality, it heats up the atmosphere, leading to unstable rain patterns and unpredictable events. This exacerbates pollution we already face in brownfields and at sites like West Lake landfill."

"As climate change intensifies, we must intensify our response.
Sadly, this wont be our last experience with extreme flood conditions - they will become more common. I am pushing for climate justice investments in Congress every day to make sure every community can stay safe."
