Ask the federal government to support the Green New Deal in order to stop global warming and protect the health, safety, and future of U.S. citizens and all life on earth. The Green New Deal aspires to rapidly switch the U.S. to renewable energy, reach the Paris Agreement’s climate goal, and create a strong and equitable economy in the process.
Why is this important?
The federal government continues to deny the reality of climate change and refuses to take immediate action to protect the future of humanity. A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that emissions must peak by 2020 to limit global warming to 1.5C and then steadily drop. According to the Global Carbon Project, U.S. emissions rose in 2018. Our government is not doing enough to protect us.
