Climate change’s threats to human health and life are growing. Will you join our latest effort to roll back climate change?
Fight climate change now -- with federal action!
May 16, 2012
Climate change is underway. We've seen it this spring in abnormally high temperatures, droughts, destructive storms and wildfires. We worry what the summer will bring.
It's going to take something as powerful as federal action to reduce and eventually reverse climate change. You can help right now: Support the EPA’s proposed rule to reduce greenhouse gases from new, fossil fuel-powered power plants.
Climate change threatens us with heat waves, vector-born disease, water contamination, drops in food production, and global instability. Sign on today to voice your support for strong nationwide action. We'll be taking your signature to the EPA hearings next week to support this rule.
