| Dear Friend, |
| The last 10 years have all been the hottest on record. And just as dry areas are likely to get drier with rising global temperatures, places with historically heavy precipitation will only get wetter, increasing the chances of extreme rainfall and flooding. These impacts have already been felt in places like Texas and North Carolina where recent floods devastated communities. |
| But, instead of finding ways to fight the climate crisis, the Trump administration is going against science to undermine a key finding that many U.S. climate policies rest on: that greenhouse gases are air pollutants that endanger public health and welfare by driving climate change. |
| Since 2009, EPA’s Endangerment Finding has been the backbone and legal foundation for federal greenhouse gas emission standards, from cleaner car and truck standards to power plant pollution reduction standards. Trump’s plan to repeal this foundational requirement that reins in climate pollution would leave us with dirtier air, more extreme weather events, more harm to our health, and more risk to our communities. |
| The federal government is putting their proposal up for public comment and we need to show them that people across this country overwhelmingly support actions to reduce climate pollution. If their plan goes through, the Trump administration will abandon the federal government’s role in reducing greenhouse gases that threaten our planet. The only winners will be fossil-fuel corporations, whose pollution not only threatens our air and water, but also our climate. |
