WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - CLIMATE - care2PETITIONS - 123 climate deniers in Congress are selling our planet's future for fossil fuel cash

 

Despite record heat waves, 23% of U.S. lawmakers are denying climate change. A Full 23% of Members of Congress Are Climate Deniers, Resisting Efforts to Protect Our Planet from Crisis Sign Now    Dear friends,   Twenty-three percent of lawmakers in the U.S. Congress — one of the wealthiest, most influential, and most carbon-polluting countries — don't believe in the existence of human-caused climate change.   This comes at a time when the world is experiencing record high heat waves. On July 22, 2024, the entire planet went through its hottest day ever — breaking its own record from the previous day. In California, the state just recorded its hottest month — in all of history — in July 2024. Approximately one-third of all people living in the U.S. were under heat warnings in July due to the record-breaking temperatures.   These 100 elected representatives in the House of Representative and 23 Senators — all Republicans — are part of a right-wing coalition to resist efforts to save our planet and fight climate change. They're actively fighting against the Green New Deal, investments in clean energy, and environmental regulations.   They've also spent their careers being bribed and lobbied by fossil fuel corporations. Dirty energy groups have paid these 123 lawmakers a combined $52 million dollars to ensure that these science-deniers vote the way the coal and oil industry want. The only way to stop this unhinged section of Congress from sending the world careening further and further into climate change is to vote these Representatives and Senators out. We have to vote Blue to keep the Earth green! Sign the pledge to show that you will vote for Democrats and help us save our planet!     Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. These 123 Republicans will keep condemning our planet to this worsening climate fate — because they're profiting from it. Pledge to vote Blue this November to keep our Earth green.
