What happens when a mountain lion becomes a climate mascot? When 100 mph Santa Ana winds collide with January drought? When FEMA starts vanishing and NOAA stops counting billion-dollar disasters?
On this episode of Three Degrees, we go coast-to-coast—from New Hampshire and Iowa to LA—with Rep. Laura Friedman, who’s stepping into Adam Schiff’s shoes and refusing to step away from climate. 🌲🏛️
🚨 From wildfire response and habitat loss to federal funding cuts, fake climate economics, and the stealth dismantling of basic environmental protections, Rep. Friedman breaks down what’s at stake in this election—and why climate messaging still wins, even in red districts.
🌞 Her advice to nervous candidates? “Don't call it climate—call it clean air, safe water, and cheaper energy.”
📉 We also dive into:
Her first-hand experience living through January’s record SoCal fires
What it means when firefighters call them "climate fires"
The real cost of climate inaction: lives, homes, and billions in damages
And the strategy Democrats are building to fight back
🎧 Plus, she shares what she tells her (almost) 12-year-old daughter about the future—and why beachfront property in Miami probably isn’t part of it.
