Anthony Kiedis: ‘California Is on the Front Lines of the Climate Crisis’

These extreme weather events are going to accelerate if we don’t act now. The toll on human life and the environment is unfathomable. These events also come with a monumental price tag. New figures released this week show 2018 global disasters cost $160 billion. A third of that total came from just four events in the U.S., with California’s Camp Fire being the costliest disaster of 2018 at $16.5 billion.

Anthony Kiedis has co-written an op-ed warning of
California's climate crisis and how voters can "solve
the greatest threat to humankind."

As direct victims of the Woolsey Fire, we saw firsthand how extreme weather events disproportionately impact low-income residents. We launched the Malibu Foundation to provide emergency relief assistance to people in need, help the community rebuild and put pressure on elected officials to take climate action now.

Since our federal government is failing us, we must rely on our state and local governments to lead the charge.
