To: President Biden
This is a climate emergency!
Declare a climate emergency under the National Emergencies Act to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% of 2005 levels by 2030!
Why is this important?
Just two weeks after Hurricane Fiona devastated communities in Puerto Rico, Hurricane Ian swept through Cuba, Florida, and South Carolina — killing over a hundred people and making the already dire housing crisis even worse. Rescue and evacuation efforts are still ongoing.
As the Sunrise Movement said to President Biden: “How can we call this anything but what it is — a climate emergency?” President Biden must declare a national climate emergency immediately, clearing the way for big policies to take on the climate crisis.

Declaring a national emergency will empower President Biden to do just that. Once Biden declares a national climate emergency, he'll be able to invoke the National Emergencies Act to halt crude oil exports, limit oil and gas drilling in federal waters, and direct federal agencies to boost renewable-energy sources — all crucial actions if we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, President Biden’s stated goal.
