Dear NRDC Supporter,
Recent headlines paint a bleak picture, with the costs of climate inaction mounting by the hour:
"World breaches key 1.5°C warming mark for record number of days" —BBC
"Climate crisis costing $16m an hour in extreme weather damage, study estimates" —The Guardian
"Humanity can still stop the worst consequences of climate change, but time is running out, U.N.'s IPCC warns" —PBS News Hour
But while scientists warn that we have less than a decade to slash greenhouse gas emissions in half to avert climate catastrophe, fossil fuel companies keep pushing for massive new oil drilling projects. That includes the illegally approved Willow oil drilling project in the Arctic.
As NRDC's team of lawyers and policy experts consider where to focus next, it's critical to understand our supporters' opinions on this issue.
Do you think the United States is moving in the right direction on climate change?

NRDC's lawyers are fighting in court right now to protect the Arctic from reckless, ill-conceived oil development off our coasts and near treasured public lands. And we continue to fight for more aggressive investments in clean energy... faster removal of lead pipes that are contaminating the drinking water... stronger protections for endangered wildlife... and so much more.
But our success depends on your support and others like you. That's why it's so important for us to hear from you now.
Thank you for taking a moment to add your voice.
– Team NRDC
