Given the GOP likes to talk endlessly about how much climate action will cost, may I direct you attention to the costs of climate inaction—they are much larger.

A single "gigagfire" burning in California right now is larger than all of the fires between 1932 and 1999, put together
The August Complex fire in California has now burned more than 1m acres across 7 counties, largest fire in CA history
And to think I used to think that 260k acres was a big fire...now we have our first “gigafire” 1 million acres!! Boggles the mind!! The frightening implications of California’s first million-acre fire
We now have a “gigafire” in California, meaning over 1,000,000 acres have burned. We need climate action and legislation, not raking.
