Last week, the world’s top climate scientists released an alarming new report:
Climate change is here, and we’re already seeing its devastating effects—extreme heat waves, droughts, flooding, hurricanes, wildfires and rising sea levels. And global temperatures are on track to keep rising, further imperling life on our planet.
But there was also a glimmer of hope in the latest report:
There is still time to prevent the most catastrophic effects of climate change. But it’s going to take bold, serious and immediate action to address greenhouse gas emissions.
TELL CONGRESS: WE NEED CLIMATE ACTION NOW!

John:
Here’s what’s coming if we don’t protect our planet: critical food and water shortages, stronger and more frequent wildfires and major storms, and an increasing number of climate refugees who will be forced to leave their homes.
That’s just a couple short decades away.
Staving off disaster requires bold action to break the fossil fuel industry’s stranglehold on our politics. We need to embrace clean energy and create green jobs—it's our only hope for a sustainable future for our children. We can't accept a future where Earth becomes unlivable—we have to fight to protect it.
This is our moonshot. We have an opportunity—right now—to enact bold, sweeping legislation that will protect our planet for generations to come and create good-paying, clean-energy jobs.
Please, please: Add your name to demand that Congress pass the kind of ambitious legislation we NEED to fight climate change and protect the future of our planet.
Now is NOT the time to give up. Now is the time for action.
Thank you for adding your voice!
