Hi,

It was 109 degrees in Altus, Oklahoma yesterday. Yes, it’s usually hot in Oklahoma in July, but this is 12 degrees above the normal high!

For six consecutive years — from 2014 through 2019 — we've lived through record highs on planet Earth.

Will 2020 break records again? It’s early in the summer, but already it looks like we have an answer: There's a 99.9% chance that 2020 will end among the five warmest years on record.¹

Beat the heat with our tees and tank tops: Global Warming — Not Cool!

While no single cause can be attributed to global warming, collectively heat records like those in Oklahoma are consistent with the extremes we expect to see in a warming world.

That’s why Earth Day Network is doubling-down on our commitment to help cut carbon emissions and demand that our leaders support binding global climate change agreements now before it’s too late.

Everything we do — from planting trees to cleaning up plastic pollution to protecting endangered animal habitats — aims to keep our climate stable and stave off the impacts of climate change.

Please show your support by wearing our new charity T-shirt. You’ll look and feel cool, but global warming is no joke.

All proceeds will go to support our climate change campaign.

For the planet,

The Earth Day Network team
