Tell Your Representative to Support the Climate Action Now Act

From PennEnvironment (http://www.pennenvironment.org):

This month, Congress will have a chance to take a major step toward solving the climate crisis.

Back in 2015, the United States committed to cut carbon emissions by at least 26 percent by 2032 as part of the international Paris Climate Agreement.¹ But in 2017, President Trump unilaterally withdrew from the agreement.²

The U.S. House of Representatives has introduced an important new bill to combat climate change, the Climate Action Now Act (H.R. 9). We expect a vote in early May — the first House vote on climate in a decade.

Go to https://pennenvironment.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=31960 to tell your U.S. House representative to keep us in the Paris Climate Agreement by voting for the Climate Action Now Act.

The Climate Action Now Act would ensure that the United States meets its international commitment to cut global warming pollution. It defunds any effort to leave the Paris Climate Agreement and requires the Trump administration to submit a plan to meet our promised pollution reduction benchmarks.³

The stakes could not be higher. The science of global warming is clear — we have no time to spare. We must ratchet down carbon pollution from the burning of fossil fuels as soon as possible.

The Climate Action Now Act is simple and straightforward. It’s an important first step that Congress can take to combat global warming.

Tell your U.S. House representative: Vote for the Climate Action Now Act.

We all know global action is needed to address the climate crisis, and the United States must be a world leader.
