Tell Senator Marco Rubio to act on climate change
Senator Rubio and other 2016 presidential candidates: Develop a science-based climate plan to cut global warming emissions in accordance with the internationally recognized target of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius.
Why is this important?
15 South Florida mayors—both Republican and Democrat—are challenging Senator Marco Rubio to meet with them about how rising seas are disrupting their communities. As a U.S. Senator representing Florida, Marco Rubio has every reason to understand climate change. After all, Florida is the state most at risk of flooding and his hometown of Miami is one of the cities most vulnerable to sea level rise in the world.
Yet Marco Rubio said he doesn't "agree with the notion that some are putting out there, including scientists, that somehow, there are actions we can take today that would actually have an impact on what's happening in our climate."
Local leaders and constituents directly affected by climate change are a powerful force for holding candidates accountable. Along with our partners at the CLEO Institute, we are working to get their message out. Stand with the South Florida mayors by signing our petition calling on all presidential candidate to act on climate change. We’ll deliver it in person in New Hampshire before the primary.
