Alaska just hit a climate milestone, John: Its first-ever heat advisory.
In Fairbanks, just 120 miles south of the Arctic Circle, temperatures hit 87 degrees, and it’s having an incredible effect on their community. Alaskan infrastructure isn’t built for high temperatures: Most homes don’t have air conditioning, and the roads are buckling from thawing permafrost — all while temperatures are expected to feel like 110°F.
Alaska is warming more than twice as fast as the global average. Meanwhile, the agencies tracking these changes, like the National Weather Service, have seen their staff slashed, alerts delayed, and resources gutted — and the Trump administration is still denying science and blocking action on these issues.
Alaska might seem like a far-off place, but we’re ringing the alarm now because we can’t wait until catastrophe strikes every state. The signs are here — let’s make sure Congress is ready to respond. SEEC members are on the front lines of the climate fight by advocating for and passing legislation, but they need your help to keep pushing forward.
Thanks to your help in 2024, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 119th Congress while we continue fighting for a sustainable future.
