I’m the only climate scientist in Washington. And right now, the reality is that our window of opportunity to tackle the climate crisis is closing.

Taking action on climate isn’t just about protecting our planet: It’s about growing our economy – so I wanted to take a moment to set the record straight between the false choice between our morals and our wallets.

Over the past few years, record-setting wildfires, super storms, and droughts have cost us $500 BILLION in damages.

Make no mistake: Inaction will only worsen that economic pain. And the longer we wait, the more it will cost us.

As NewDems, we know that a clean future is a prosperous future – and we must act now to transition to a clean energy economy before it’s too late.

As chair of the NewDems Climate Change Task Force, I’m working to pass innovative policies and initiatives that will get us to our goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.

These measures will make us a global leader in the fight against climate change, put Americans to work in green jobs, and make us energy independent — meaning we’ll never have to rely on autocracies like Russia for energy.

Every day Republicans fail to accept the science and join Democrats in passing baseline climate provisions is a Code Red moment. American families and businesses are paying the price.

Help us continue to keep our climate future front and center. Split a $10 contribution between me and NewDems today and we’ll keep up the fight to defend the climate truth-tellers in Congress.

Thank you,

Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06)

Co-Chair, NewDem Climate Change Task Force
