Commentary: Join fight against climate change

With searing heat and wildfires in Western states, and major flooding in China and Germany, climate change has become a front-of-mind concern for many.

Referring to an air pollution report, they say people of color are “61% more likely than white people to live in a county with a failing grade for unhealthy air.’’

Here’s a link to their Commentary and their remedies for addressing these problems.
