Friend,

As Texas suffered through widespread blackouts and deadly arctic
temperatures, Governor Greg Abbott went on Fox News and blamed—get
this—wind power.

Then Tucker Carlson went even further, claiming that the blackouts in
Texas were caused by the Green New Deal . . . which hasn't even been
passed into law!

Make no mistake: the disaster in Texas was caused not by green energy,
but by fossil fuels. Most of the power failures were from natural gas
and freezing pipelines. Coal and nuclear plants faltered as well.

And more important, climate change directly contributes to the increased
frequency of polar vortex events like what hit Texas last week.

But that hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists like QAnon congresswoman
Lauren Boebert from sharing a fake photograph of a wind turbine
supposedly being de-iced that millions of Americans will believe to be
true.

We must beat back the fossil fuel industry's lies and far-right
conspiracy theorists to solve the climate crisis. And we must defeat,
once and for all, the corporate media's "both sides" false equivalency
on basic science.

Will you donate to Common Dreams and help us beat back these lies and
provide coverage that informs, enlightens, and inspires the action
needed to solve the climate emergency?
