reach of climate crisis
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida as a category 4 storm and went
on to devastate communities across five different states. Not only did it
destroy coastal towns, but as The Guardian reports, “it mangled places in
multiple states that have never seen such impacts, obliterating small
towns, hurling trees onto homes, unmooring houses that then floated in the
floodwater, plunging millions of people into power blackouts and turning
major roads into rivers.”
More than 160 people have died with hundreds more missing and tens of
thousands still without power. Nealy one-third of deaths took place in the
North Carolina county containing the city of Asheville, a place previously
considered a ‘haven’ from climate change’s negative effects.
It’s clear: climate change is here, and nobody is safe from its impacts.
Scientists have confirmed that human-induced climate change made this
historic hurricane possible, and it’s only the beginning if we fail to
take urgent, drastic measures to prevent and mitigate the climate crisis.
Now more than ever, we need the Green New Deal: bold, comprehensive
legislation to transition the United States to 100% renewable energy,
invest in electric vehicles and public transit, upgrade buildings and
infrastructure, and create millions of good-paying jobs.
Every Justice Democrats member of Congress backs the Green New Deal, but
we need to keep the pressure up on the rest of our elected officials to
take action before it’s truly too late. [ [link removed] ]Add your name to reaffirm your
