Stop Extreme Weather by Stopping Global Warming

Sponsored by: Alliance for Climate Protection - We Can Solve It
Noticed any extreme weather in your area lately? No matter where you are in the U.S., chances are you have.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that climate change is impacting our weather. U.S. government scientists conclude that droughts, heavy downpours, excessive heat and intense hurricanes are likely to become more commonplace in the United States as we continue to increase global warming pollution in the atmosphere.

If this isn't enough of a reason to drastically change our policies on pollution, I don't know what is.

Please sign the petition telling Congress to take immediate action, because we can't afford any more natural disasters.

Dear Decisionmaker,

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that climate change is impacting our weather. U.S. government scientists conclude that droughts, heavy downpours, excessive heat, and intense hurricanes are likely to become more commonplace in the United States as we continue to increase global warming pollution in the atmosphere.

If you ever needed a reason to do something to solve the climate crisis, this is it. We need you, as one of our leaders, to take immediate and decisive action to stop global warming by capping emissions and raising standards for emissions. We can't afford any more natural disasters.

Together, we can solve the climate crisis for the next generation.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We took action on “Stop Extreme Weather by Stopping Global Warming”!

This year, in California, we have experienced the worst Summer fire season in recorded history. Our skies were hazy with smoke for weeks. We need to solve the climate crisis for future generations, NOW!

In the past year we've experienced a forest fire that destroyed or damaged some of our property, unusually heavy rains that went on for weeks, golf-ball sized hail and violent thunderstorms and winds that did a great deal of property damage throughout our county (and even killed two people at the nearby Tongue River Reservoir), and record high temps. It's PAST time to seriously and aggressively address global warming and climate change... we lose ground we can't afford to lose every day we argue about it or deny it and do nothing!
