[[link removed]]Dear John,

Yesterday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a landmark
report on how climate conditions have changed and what we can expect for the future (1) .


But we didn’t need to read the report to know what’s happening, or what we need
to do.

TAKE ACTION
[[link removed]]We know that wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, have devastated the West
Coast, burning down entire towns, and leaving nothing but scorched earth in
their wake. In 2020, wildfires burned 10.1 million acres of land in the United
States (2) .

We know that hurricanes and tropical storms, made stronger by rising sea levels
and warming oceans, have wreaked havoc in the east, flooding homes, and leaving
people stranded on rooftops.


We know that extreme heat, caused by changing weather patterns, has baked the
western half of our country. This June, a heat dome sent over a thousand people
in the Pacific Northwest to the hospital for heat-related illnesses (3) .


We know that we need to act now to stop climate change before it’s too late.
[[link removed]] We can start by investing in climate solutions that meaningfully center those
most impacted . By investing in climate, we can transform our economy, ending our reliance on
fossil fuels while creating new jobs in the clean energy sector. We can
decarbonize and set an example for the rest of the world. All people and
communities have the right to breathe clean air, live free of dangerous toxic
pollution, access healthy food, and share the benefits of a prosperous and
vibrant clean economy.



Wondering how you can help? All it takes is a few clicks; ask your legislators to invest in climate solutions today.
