To: Scott Pruitt, EPA Administrator and President Donald Trump
Don't Let Trump Destroy Climate Progress
Over a million Americans submitted public comments in favor of the Clean Power Plan and other EPA protections for the climate. We will not stand by and allow you to dismantle the progress we've made -- we demand you act on climate change and reduce the carbon emissions that fuel it.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump has issued Executive Orders demanding the EPA and other government agencies move backwards on all of the progress we've made to protect the climate over the past several years. Agencies are being ordered to ignore the impacts of carbon pollution, begin leasing coal mining rights on federal land, and -- perhaps worst of all -- the EPA is being ordered to dismantle its landmark climate protections, the Clean Power Plan.
Once again, we find ourselves with an out-of-control Trump Administration ignoring science, public opinion, and sound public policy to help their buddies in the fossil fuel industry. We can't let them get away with this.
Only an outpouring of public outrage can help turn the tide and defend the climate. We've seen it happen with the attempted Muslim ban, and we saw it last week with the disastrous attempt to repeal health care reform.
Stand up, together, and we can defend our progress on climate change and continue our climate leadership.
