John, 2023 was not only the hottest year on record but also a year of devastating climate-related disasters:
- The U.S. battled over 25 billion-dollar climate events, ranging from catastrophic storms to overwhelming floods.
- The Lahaina fire in Maui emerged as the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century.
- Prolonged droughts devastated agriculture across the Southern and Midwestern states, while atmospheric rivers caused unprecedented flooding in California.
Yet, amid these climate events, major broadcast TV networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX cut their climate coverage by a staggering 25% in 2023.
These unprecedented times for our planet deserve every ounce of attention, so today we're asking you to join us and demand that TV networks stop ignoring the climate crisis!
While a 25% scale-back in coverage might not seem like much at first glance, it represents millions of people left in the dark about the escalating climate crisis — millions who could be taking action alongside us against the destructive fossil fuel industry.
Think about it: Reduced news coverage means the real stories behind the wildfires, droughts, and extreme weather events aren't receiving the attention they deserve. When people don't have the full story, they're unable to make informed decisions or mobilize effectively against Big Oil — and the sell-out politicians who vote in the industry’s interest.
That's why we at the Jane Fonda Climate PAC are joining forces with our climate allies to demand TV networks stop ignoring the climate crisis.
By signing this petition, you’re not only lending your voice to an important cause — you’re actually helping Jane PAC grow our online community of supporters.
This is a moment for action, John. Join us, and thousands of others, to ensure that the realities of the climate emergency are on display in every household, every policy discussion, and every newsroom.
Thanks for taking action,
The Jane Fonda Climate PAC Team
