Despite a 97 percent consensus among the world's scientists that climate change exists and is caused by humans, climate denial fueled by polluter junk science and PR is alive all across the nation and in our state. Although climate change is no longer a "debate"-- scientific consensus has been reached and has concluded that the warming effect will lead to catastrophic changes in our global climate, which threatens communities, wildlife, wildlands, and life as we know it on our planet.

There is much work to be done to educate our elected officials on the issue of climate change. One thing is certain: States will be making decisions on issues of critical importance to both our health and the health of our environment. As we enter the next legislative session, please consider contacting your state officials to let them know how you feel about climate change and our environment!
