[1]Ro Khanna

Friend,

Are you tired of hearing people talk about how we “can’t afford” a more
sustainable way of life?

I am.

This shortsighted and dishonest rhetoric from climate change deniers
ignores the harsh reality: we are already paying for climate change. We
can see the environmental devastation and human toll of climate change in
the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters.

Weather and climate-related disasters have [ [link removed] ]surged 500% in the last 50
years, costing more than 2 million human lives worldwide. The death toll
would be even worse if not for the fact that we have improved our capacity
to save lives through better early warning systems.

Our droughts, storms, floods, wildfires, and extreme weather events are
worse than ever.

Those hiding behind the perceived financial barriers of innovation ignore
the economic consequences of inaction: $3.64 trillion in losses between
1970 and 2019, with 10 weather and climate disasters that each exceeded $1
billion in losses [ [link removed] ]in 2019 alone. And it’s getting worse.

[ [link removed] ]Sign if you agree: We can’t afford to wait. Americans need a Green New
Deal.

Investing in a sustainable future isn’t merely an idealistic “gift to the
planet.” It makes human sense and economic sense, too. It’s the only
solution that can safeguard our future.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: Tell Congress to pass a Green New Deal.

Onward,
Ro
