Vote for the Climate and Against Ignorance
This month, the Southeast has faced two devastating hurricanes. Not only are families forced into shelters, but entire communities have been wiped from the map. And the road to recovery will be long, arduous, and uncertain. Our hearts should go out to all the victims.
Yet the science is clear, that human-caused climate change is making these storms more severe. We experience stronger, longer, and deadlier weather phenomena than ever before, even here in Wisconsin with more extreme flooding, drought, wildfire smoke, and inconsistent snowfall. This has a bona fide economic impact, too. In the last decade, extreme weather has caused over $1.3 trillion worth of damage.
It’s also clear that one party recognizes the escalating threat and understands its driver. If our government doesn’t adopt an all-hands-on-deck approach to address climate change, as Vice President Harris has pledged, conditions will only get worse.
What does the GOP think? They spell it out clearly in their plans, detailed in Project 2025, to cripple our ability to fight climate change while intensifying production and burning of fossil fuels.
This November, remember the victims of these storms, but also the victims of climate change around the country and globe, and vote accordingly.
