Dear John,

Three million people in Texas were without power in below-freezing temperatures.
This is the result of years of failing to plan for extreme weather events -- the
types of events that will only become more common as the climate crisis worsens. Take action now.

Dozens of lives were lost in Texas, and more than 14 million are still without
access to safe water.

John, will you ask President Biden to declare a climate
emergency and address the crisis head on?

Demand President Biden address the climate emergency now.

[[link removed]]The record low temperatures in that southern state were from the breakdown of
the polar vortex. This low-pressure zone typically rotates in a cyclone-like
fashion at the poles, holding a large mass of cold, dense air. These extreme weather events are corelated with climate change.

The vortices are no longer stable and are not kept in place thanks to a changing
climate. Instead, they push the cold air from the poles further and further
south -- resulting in the dramatic weather that hit Texas last week.

It’s past time to address this climate emergency. If President Biden signs an
emergency declaration, it will allow him to take important executive actions to
address the climate crisis.

Tell President Biden to follow the science and take action for the climate
emergency we are facing.

Biden can declare a climate emergency to tackle our overheating planet, but he
has stopped short.

We need your help to urge President Biden to declare a national climate
emergency and mobilize every resource at the country’s disposal to stop the
climate crisis and address its consequences in line with science, equity, and
justice.

Extreme cold. Hurricanes. Forest fires. Floods. They all will continue to
devastate our country and the world at a record pace if something isn’t done
quickly. Can we count on your help?

32,000 signatures still needed. Ask President Biden to declare a climate
emergency and address the climate crisis head on.
