How we tackle the climate crisis

If we want to protect our planet, we need to send scientific minds to Congress John, Members of the GOP have made it clear that they don’t believe in science. That means the fight to protect our planet for future generations is at risk. If we want to tackle the climate crisis, we need to elect s…
