2023 was a record-breaking year — but it broke all the wrong records, John.
2023 is destined to go into the books as the hottest year globally, with the most destructive floods and the worst wildfires in recorded history.
No one should have to watch their home or livelihood being taken by climate disasters. And yet, too many people have had to live through this unimaginable reality this year. This image is not just a snapshot; it's a stark reminder of the urgent action needed to protect our planet.
This is what the climate crisis looks like. And we're determined to make sure 2024 doesn't look the same.
That is why we have HUGE plans for 2024 to stop pipelines all over the globe and build climate campaigns that replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. Plans that need funding and support from people like you. So I'm reaching out for your help, John:
Can you make a contribution today so we can fully fund EVERY climate campaign for 2024?
In this record year, wildfires blazed across the Northern Hemisphere, the smoke and emissions staining the skies for thousands of miles. Canada bore the brunt, where over 600% more acres were burned than in the average year.1
But wildfire destruction also happened here in the United States, Greece, Spain, and Portugal, to name a few. There is no doubt that climate change fueled these infernos, leaving a trail of charred memories and a dark reminder of our planet's cry for help.2
These fires are just one element of a series of record-shattering climate disasters that have destroyed lives and livelihoods across the globe in 2023.
The future of our climate and our planet rests on how quickly we can make the switch to fair, renewable energy. And there's no more time to waste, John:
Every action, every gift, every positive step we can take to mitigate these disasters will save lives.
We can't give in to fear and anger. There is still so much left to fight for. Together, we can make 2024 the year we safeguard our planet and future.
Thank you for being by our side.
Onwards,
Candice Fortin
