Last month, the country saw one of the largest ice-melting events ever. Now, for the first time in recorded history, the snow falling at the summit of Greenland — more than two miles above sea level — turned to rain.
John — There’s more troubling news coming out of Greenland.
Last month, the country saw one of the largest ice-melting events ever. Now, for the first time in recorded history, the snow falling at the summit of Greenland — more than two miles above sea level — turned to rain.
The warming temperatures at the summit fueled an extreme rain event that dumped enough water on the ice sheet to fill the Reflecting Poll at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. nearly 250,000 times.
Warming temperatures and more rain caused by climate change will only speed up the global warming process by melting ice sheets that redirect solar energy back out into space instead of being absorbed into our atmosphere.
That means that the already increased frequency and intensity of flooding, wildfires, hurricanes, heatwaves, and other extreme weather events will only grow exponentially if we continue to allow the climate change process to speed up.
We have the power to slow and reverse these trends, but only if we act decisively and quickly to create real solutions. SEEC members in Congress are working diligently to enact policies that will reduce the acceleration of climate change, but they can’t do it alone.
Thanks to your help in 2020, SEEC PAC was able to re-elect over 95% of our pro-environment members to the U.S. House of Representatives — defying the odds on a night where Democrats lost seats. Now we are counting on you to help our SEEC members pass climate, clean energy and environmental justice policies in the 117th Congress while we undo the damage of the Trump Administration.
