Friends —
This past week, California experienced a surge of climate disasters — some of the toughest in its history.
Tropical storm Hilary landed in Southern California on Monday — the first tropical storm to hit California in 84 years. Trees toppled, roads and bridges flooded, power lines were downed, and many homes and residences were damaged. But that's not where the natural disasters end. Simultaneously, Los Angeles experienced an earthquake and wildfires.
This week has made it more apparent than ever that the consequences of climate change are here to stay.
Hilary damaged Southern California in ways no one had expected — it’s estimated that an entire year’s worth of rain fell on California in one day.
That’s not normal.
We have seen time and time again that the consequences of climate change are arising at exponential rates and threatening the lives of people across the globe.
As a world leader, it’s time that the United States act swiftly with climate protection action — not only to protect Americans but people all over the globe who are at risk of being displaced due to climate disasters.
So please, join me in calling on my colleagues in Congress to pass urgent climate action legislation to prevent the effects of global warming and climate change. [[link removed]]
Thank you for standing with me in our fight to protect the planet.
