#US - 'A Reckoning': 500 Groups Endorse March to End Fossil Fuels
> The march comes ahead of U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres’ Climate Ambition Summit and follows a summer of #fossilfueles extreme weather that smothered the Northeast and Midwest in wildfire smoke, flooded the streets of Vermont’s state capital, devastated the town of Lahaina in Maui, and baked Phoenix under 31 days of more than 110°F heat.
