Let's Get Colorado Serious About Climate Change
Make our elected officials take climate change and the threats it poses seriously, and begin regulating and legislating accordingly.
Why is this important?
For too long, corporate interests have stalled government progress on the issue of climate change, keeping our representatives from taking action and fully informing the public about this global threat. After the latest batch of wildfires have ravaged Colorado, we can no longer allow this inaction and disinformation to remain steering the public dialog and reactions. For years scientists warned that due to the overly dry conditions in Colorado, our 'table was set' for the brutal wildfire we have faced this year, but still our representatives continue to deny that the climate is making us less safe and much more vulnerable.
We need to stand up and demand that our representatives take action to protect the safety of it's people, and they are not doing so by allowing corporate interests to prevent the state from moving on the surrounding issues and threats that climate change has presented across the globe, let alone here in Colorado. We want our elected officials to start introducing bills that will help address the issue of climate change before it is too late. We want regulations put in place, not just on a state level, but for our representatives to start leading others and introduce federal legislation to help ensure the sustainability and safety of the people they represent, and the country they are tasked with protecting.
