Hi,



Our fight for action on climate change has entered a critical new phase. In its Sixth Assessment, the IPCC states that the nations who are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions have failed to reduce their output and now a certain amount of global warming is locked in and is irreversible.1



This means that extreme weather events and heatwaves will become more common and are here to stay. If we do nothing to reverse the course we’re on we could see the planet warm 4 degrees Celsius in a matter of decades — and with it, catastrophic sea-level rise.  



Inaction on climate change is not an option. The United States needs to honor our commitments to global climate action, and we must move climate action forward here at home, too. We cannot remain silent and wait for things to change. We must cut our carbon emissions today.  



Sign our petition calling on our leaders to put partisanship aside <[link removed]>and work together to produce legislation that will help the U.S. transition to a clean energy economy and low-carbon future.



<[link removed]>TAKE ACTION <[link removed]>



In unity,



Kathleen Rogers

President
