John,

It seems like year after year, we see more and more horrendous natural disasters wreaking havoc across the country. In fact, the United States leads the world in weather-related catastrophes. It’s much more than just bad luck, it’s a bad combo of geography and climate change.

The U.S. has two oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains — all major features that leave us predisposed to severe weather events. And on top of that, the jet stream and combatting storm fronts can all come together to create the disastrous hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, and Nor’easters and other atmospheric abnormalities.

Now, you take our tendency toward natural disasters, and then put it under pressure. That’s precisely what climate change is doing. Rising temperatures are amplifying droughts, supercharging storms, and making all of our weather events more extreme and more deadly.

John, this is the result of our lack of action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing a rapidly warming planet, and no corner of our country is safe from these threats.

We are living with the consequences of climate inaction right now, John. It’s too late to turn back the clock, but it’s not too late to take decisive action to mitigate the future effects of climate change. We need to get serious about protecting communities suffering from these and other disasters.

That’s why we are asking you to make a donation to SEEC PAC today so we can fully fund our Members of Congress who are fighting tooth-and-nail to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
