As extreme heat impacts our health and agriculture, sea levels are rising, and storms are worsening, the effects of climate change are felt both locally and globally. It is undeniable that fossil fuels, both their extraction and use, interact with the land. Fossil fuels are the largest driver of the climate crisis.
