SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN: July 2023 Is Hottest Month Ever Recorded on Earth

BLOOMBERG: This Year Is Already on Track to Be the Hottest Ever Recorded

CNN: Global heat in ‘uncharted territory’ as scientists warn 2023 could be the hottest year on record

These are not the kinds of headlines we want to see, John.

Last month was the hottest month that humans have recorded on this planet. Scientists warn of “uncharted territory” for the global heat index. The climate crisis is here and cannot be ignored. And while the Senate made progress last year in fighting climate change, Republicans are threatening to roll it all back.

Will you add your name now to oppose GOP attempts to roll back our progress addressing the climate crisis?

I’m proud of the historic investments we made in Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act that are already taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmental justice.

Just last month, Senator Duckworth and I helped secure critical funding for Illinois’ regional climate centers, clean energy initiatives, and upgrades to the National Weather Service.

Meanwhile, right-wing policymakers are circulating a host of dangerous proposals that would wipe out the progress we’ve made on reducing emissions, putting our planet’s future in peril.

We can’t let climate deniers stand in the way of progress. Sign the petition right away to protect Democrats’ work to address the climate crisis.

My best,

Dick Durbin
