John,

Do you know the new movie about a comet coming that will destroy Earth, but no one is listening to the scientists and leaders are doing nothing? Don’t Look Up is an all-too-real movie plot, but instead of a comet, it’s about climate change.

Just before we rang in 2022, we suffered more extreme weather as a result of climate change: Colorado experienced devastation with another wildfire and Alaska was warmer than San Diego, CA.

The planet keeps screaming at us to look around and pay attention. At Food & Water Watch, we are.

In 2022, we’re going to do what we do best — organize rallies so our voices are heard, educate decision-makers about the dangers of inaction, and push leaders at the local, state and national levels to finally act to avert complete climate chaos — by banning fracking and fossil fuel infrastructure, and transitioning to green, renewable energies.

And we need you.

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. That’s not a good thing. It means more glaciers melting, which raises sea levels and causes more coastal flooding. It means more melting permafrost, releasing more trapped methane into the air, causing more warming. It’s a vicious cycle. But it's not inevitable if we act quickly.

Less snowfall, more rain, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and dangerous cold and extreme heat. This is our future if we don’t look up and take decisive action. At Food & Water Watch, we’re looking up, but we are also looking ahead. And we see a green, sustainable future that's still possible – if we demand it from our leaders NOW. Will you join us?

Onward together,

Wenonah Hauter
