We cannot be complacent in the face of climate change.
John,
It feels like every year we’ve had once-in-a-lifetime weather events. This summer, the planet has broken record after record for extreme heat while disasters have struck across the country, from Vermont to Phoenix. According to a recent NPR poll, however, only 8% of Americans identified climate change as the most important issue facing the country. Say what?!
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said that extreme weather events are “our new normal,” and your fellow Americans may believe that as well, since a 2019 study from the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that it only takes two years for people to accept extreme weather events as the norm, instead of the anomalies that they once were.
Do you think it's okay for extreme weather to be the new normal?
Everyone here on the SEEC PAC team knows that this is NOT normal. The staggering increase in devastating storms, fires, and floods are all directly tied to human-caused climate change. This may be our last chance to do anything to help. But that only becomes more challenging if everyone accepts severe heat, flooding, and wildfires as the new status quo.
So what do you think, John: Should we just accept that extreme weather is the new normal?
Thanks to your help in 2020, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 117th Congress while we undo the damage of the Trump Administration.
