Currently in Los Angeles — August 15, 2024: Another chamber of commerce day
Plus, independent climate journalism needs your support, now more than ever

The weather, currently.
Quite perfect
Another chamber of commerce day out here in LA on Thursday, as mid-80s with sunny skies continues for LA metro. Valleys could be back around 90 on Thursday, before dipping a bit for the weekend. Tracking another potential ridge setting up shop yet again next week.
What you can do, currently.
A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.
Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
