Sea levels are rising, storms are more dangerous and intense, and we're facing megadroughts, wildfires, extreme heat and deadly cold snaps. These are all symptoms of growing climate chaos.
A new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts even more alarming news for the coastal United States: Sea levels will rise another two to seven feet in less than 30 years — if we don’t stop fossil fuel emissions! The consequences are enormous.
We’re already seeing more intense storms and hurricanes. But this latest report from NOAA means our coasts are becoming increasingly more vulnerable — more high tide flooding and bigger, stronger storm surges will stress our coastal ecosystems and contaminate nearby groundwater. Our outdated and fragile storm and wastewater infrastructure are not up to the challenge.
We can turn things around, but we need to act fast. With your support, we'll ban fracking and factory farms, and we'll stop new fossil fuel infrastructure — all major sources of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions — in order to fight catastrophic climate change, and secure our storm and wastewater systems. We’ll work with local affiliates, organizers and community members to reclaim political power and pass the legislation we need to protect our coastlines, communities and infrastructure. Join us.
Food & Water Action and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Watch, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate.
