I ask President Biden to declare a national emergency and nationalize the oil companies.
See this excerpt from a NY Times commentary and then read the commentary in its entirety.
Sincerely,

We can hide from the heat in the desert in our air-conditioned homes, ours cooled by a heat pump powered by solar panels. But there is no place on Earth where we can escape the climate emergency for the duration. This is not being a doomer. This is dwelling with the facts that mirror our experience. A U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation report tells us the average temperatures in the Colorado River Basin are “projected to increase by five to six degrees Fahrenheit during the 21st century” and even more in the upper Colorado Basin, where Castle Valley sits. With climate change heightening extreme temperatures, drought, fires and floods, we find ourselves entangled in a cascade of consequences.
