Today’s Action: Support Climate Change Action in Congress
At a summit of Arctic nations this week, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo torpedoed a joint statement over his objections to labeling climate change as a problem. And in fact, he welcomed it, saying the melting ice caps could open new trade routes between Asia and the West…which (our bitter words now) will actually be needed as coastal cities sink under water due to rising sea levels.
Luckily, despite egregious denials of the issue from the Trump administration, there’s still some hope. Although Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris climate agreement in 2017, the U.S. must remain under the accord until 2020 – so we’re still in it at the moment. And with Democrats in the House and (some) supportive Republicans, we have the opportunity to pass useful and tangible bipartisan legislation while we hold out for a new president in 2020.
Call or email your Members of Congress, and ask them to prioritize creating and passing legislation for 100% clean energy in the United States to combat the disastrous effects of climate change. And specifically tell them to cosponsor and support the following…
In the House of Representatives:
-
The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019 (H.R.763), a carbon tax bill on fuels and products that emit greenhouse gasses
-
The USE IT Act (H.R.1166), research and development for carbon capture and removal technologies
In the Senate:
-
Climate Action Now Act, requiring the president to create a plan to meet Paris agreement standards
We have only a few years left to solve this global issue before the consequences become disastrous. It’s time to reach across the table to find tangible solutions and push our politicians like we’ve never pushed before.
