John --
As a father of three young children, understanding the impact of climate change on extreme weather events is deeply important to me. I consider it a crucial step towards guaranteeing my children (and their children) will grow up in a safe, ecologically rich environment.
President Biden has already taken a stance on this, given the latest tornado news out of Kentucky:
I agree with President Biden: the Environmental Protection Agency must take a deeper dive into extreme weather events and their relationship with climate change. A clearer read on this relationship will enable Congress to enact legislation that addresses the totality of issues related to extreme weather events. This means everything from equitably distributing aid, to constructing weather-proofed homes, to decreasing the risk of extreme weather events over time.
If you’re with me and President Biden on demanding that the EPA look into the relationship between extreme weather events and climate change, please sign the petition:
I know climate change can seem abstract, given the scope and scale of climate-related issues. But extreme weather events — like the unusual winter tornadoes in Kentucky — are a sign that things are changing now, and action is urgently needed.
John — we cannot afford to ignore these signs. Add your name to our petition to help us demand action from the EPA. >>
Thanks for your support, John.
