John,

The newly released IPCC report says that it’s “now or never” if the world
is to stave off climate disaster.^1

After a report like this, we cannot allow our elected officials to go on
“business-as-usual” without having to respond. That’s where you come
in, John.

[ [link removed] ]Will you send the new IPCC report to your members of Congress right now
and demand that they pledge their commitment to real zero emissions?

The unfortunate reality is that this IPCC report isn’t getting as much
attention from the media as previous ones – which means less pressure on
elected officials to respond and act.

That’s why we need to put this report in front of them the grassroots way
– through thousands of emails to their offices.

Our message is simple: any policy that doesn’t include phasing out fossil
fuels is not a real climate plan. “Net zero” pledges are not going to get
the job done, we need real zero.^2

[ [link removed] ]Can you write to your members of Congress urging them to commit to real
zero emissions that will keep warming below 1.5°C?

Even though it may sound similar, the phrase “net zero emissions” does NOT
mean “zero emissions.” In many cases, it means the exact opposite and is
instead used as a polluter-driven greenwashing scheme.

Most “net zero” targets involve vaguely-written plans with loopholes that
allow emissions to continue rising based on the assumption that in the
future, new (risky, unproven, and harmful) technologies will be able to
remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and compensate for those
emissions.

We won’t fall for it. Instead of relying on unproven future technologies,
we demand climate plans that radically reduce emissions to zero.

Despite what polluters want us to believe, there are real solutions that
exist and can be implemented at scale.

In 2022, there’s simply no excuse for propping up the fossil fuel industry
that already reaps windfall profits at the expense of our future.

[ [link removed] ]Please send a message today and let’s amplify the call for real action
that addresses the scientific facts laid out in the IPCC report and saves
our planet.

With determination,

Team 350
