I own a small business providing care for dogs. The hotter summers have a direct effect on my work. On hot and humid days, I cannot take dogs outside for long periods of time.

In addition to the heatwaves, I also notice the consistent rainstorms. Now, I have to repair water damage in my basement.

It will be a different world for my children and grandchildren. Climate change will cause major geopolitical events.

Investing in clean energy through offshore power is a necessity. While we cannot rewrite the past, we can still change the future.
