There's a reason Donald Trump brags about gutting climate protections but never mentions the human cost. If he told the truth, he'd have to admit his dirty fossil fuel agenda kills people.

A new investigation from ProPublica and The Guardian revealed that Donald Trump's anti-climate agenda could lead to a whopping 1.3 million more climate deaths.

Think about that, John.

That’s 1.3 million people who could die due to carbon pollution released under Trump’s policies, simply because he chose fossil fuel profits over human life. And researchers warn that estimate is conservative. It counts only direct temperature-related deaths, not the millions more from droughts, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, disease, famine, and resource wars that climate change could trigger.

What makes it even more unconscionable:

The U.S. produces more climate pollution than any other country on Earth, but could experience only about 1% of these temperature-related deaths. The remaining 99% would fall on the world's poorest nations.

Vulnerable nations in Africa and South Asia like Niger, Somalia, India, and Pakistan. Countries without widespread air conditioning, without climate-resilient infrastructure, without the resources to adapt to a crisis they did not create. Places where families are already collapsing from temperatures that steal the breath from your lungs.

Trump knows this. He just doesn’t care. Since returning to the White House, he’s launched a coordinated assault on nearly every climate safeguard in sight:

✗ He’s pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement (again)
✗ Cut tax incentives for solar, wind, and electric vehicles
✗ Gutted regulations limiting emissions from cars, trucks, and power plants
✗ Made it cheaper and easier to drill on federal lands
✗ Eliminated methane pollution fees for fossil fuel companies
✗ Forced dirty coal plants to stay open even when utilities wanted to close them

And that’s only a fraction of what he’s turned his back on, John.

But I need you to understand that amongst all the doom and gloom, there is still hope. Hope is defiant. It’s a choice. It’s the act of looking this crisis in the eye and deciding we will not accept it as inevitable.

In fact, researchers found that if global fossil fuel emissions drop to nearly zero by 2050, we could prevent tens of millions of deaths. But we have to act NOW.

That’s why, at 87, I wake up every morning determined to keep fighting. Why I refuse to slow down, and why JanePAC's mission to elect climate champions — in statehouses, city councils, Congress, and everywhere decisions are made — has never been more urgent.

This year, you’ve helped us elect over 60 climate leaders around the country who are already rejecting Trump's dirty fossil fuel agenda in their communities. In 2026, we have the opportunity to elect another wave of champions who will fight like hell for our planet and the people most vulnerable to this crisis.

If you're ready to make an impact, will you chip in any amount today to help us carry our momentum from 2025 into the fights ahead in 2026?
