🌎 It’s Earth Month, John! 🌎
Here are 3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW about climate change that underscore our mission at the Jane Fonda Climate PAC:
ONE: Rising Temperatures
The past decade was the warmest on record, with 2023 marking the hottest year ever recorded. Climate experts agree that we're inching dangerously close to the 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming “point of no return.” Crossing that threshold risks serious, irreversible damage to our planet and its fragile ecosystems.
TWO: The Fossil Fuel Industry's Impact
The fossil fuel industry’s relentless pursuit of profits continues to drive the climate crisis. They threaten our health with deadly extraction and transmission projects, and harm our entire planet with deadly emissions. Despite having known the risks for many decades, they continue to undermine any efforts to reign in these deadly practices and their stranglehold on our political system has allowed them to literally buy more time to continue their global killing spree with impunity.
THREE: Progress and Hope
In light of the above, it’s understandable that so many people don’t realize how much progress we’ve made in the face of the climate crisis. While we can’t discount the extent of the harm caused, there have been remarkable strides recently on the demand side — the uptick in solar and wind energy, slowly but surely expanding access to affordable EVs, and more. While we celebrate this progress, we can’t be complacent. These developments show our capacity for change. The momentum to save our planet is building, and you’re a huge part of it, John! Now, let’s point that momentum even further in the right direction.
