*[Enwl-eng] A massive, looming wall of dust stormed through a city as climate change worsens

Arizona must do more to help fight climate change in order to protect its residents. Terrifying Wind Storms Created Walls of Dust Thousands of Feet Tall. It's Getting Worse with Climate Change. Sign Now    In Phoenix, Arizona, a massive wind storm known as a "haboob" swept through the area. A wall of dust that was thousands of feet high and miles wide, with gusts of up to 70 miles per hour, tore through the region — tearing down trees, reducing visibility on roads and bridges, and even grounding flights. Upwards of 60,000 households were left without power. An airport connector bridge was completely ripped apart. Haboobs aren't a new phenomenon. But they are getting worse as atmospheric temperatures rise and droughts increase arid conditions on the ground — in under words, under climate change.   Thunderstorms associated with haboobs have increased in intensity over the past 50 years. Meanwhile, less frequent rains have left the Earth more and more barren, with desert-like areas growing. This combination of increased drought and more intense storms creates the perfect conditions for such terrifying events.  At the same time, Arizonans have also been grappling with record high heat waves, with temperatures in the triple-digits Fahrenheit. This is partially because the state government, as well as the U.S. federal government, aren't doing enough to fight climate change. The Arizona government must take action by promoting sustainable energy and discouraging the use of climate-altering fossil fuels! Sign the petition!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Arizonans don't deserve to suffer in this way — and neither does anyone else on the planet. Arizona must do more to help fight climate change. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
