Organizing For Action Strikes Back

Adrian -- It might be hard to imagine now, but in 2013, when President Obama took a strong stand on climate change during his second inaugural speech, politicos and pundits in Washington were caught off guard, surprised that he even mentioned the issue. They thought climate change was a niche issue -- but doing what's right for our public health and for our kids' future has always been more important than short-term politics. That's why a few months later, the President announced his strategy to tackle carbon pollution. Today, we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of the centerpiece of that strategy, the Clean Power Plan, which will cut carbon pollution from our power plants by 32 percent by 2030 -- and help solidify our transition to an America powered by clean energy. The Clean Power Plan is a big step forward -- in fact, the New York Times called it "the strongest action ever taken by an American president to tackle climate change." But climate change deniers still want to roll it back. Stand up for the Clean Power Plan and for aggressive action to tackle climate change. The Clean Power Plan is the result of millions of people like you rejecting the idea that taking on climate change is too big or too hard, or that the status quo is all we can hope for. It's an example of the kind of change that's possible when people raise their voices together. It's not the only victory we've won, either. We've doubled the amount of clean, renewable energy we generate in the U.S. Wind and solar are cheaper than ever, and hundreds of thousands of people work in these new growing industries. The groundbreaking Paris Climate Agreement -- reached last fall -- marked the first time nearly every country in the world agreed to cut carbon pollution and fight climate change head on. We are making progress, thanks to you. But we can't stop now -- we've got to keep up the momentum to ensure we pass on a safe, healthy climate to our kids. Say you won't stop fighting: https://my.barackobama.com/Speak-Up-For-Climate-Progress Thanks, Jack Jack Shapiro Director of Policy and Campaigns Organizing for Action -------------------------------------------------- Dear Jack: I will be glad to say I will not stop fighting uninformed folks that have suckered for the "climate change" fraud.  The science is simple: CO2 is a trace gas in air that could not heat a baby bottle in a day of sunlight.  You people have poisoned physical science, the studies that gave you the modern world, such that you may well take us back to a time that could support only 22% of the present population. What happens to the other 78%?  They starve to death. Our science graduates are so bad we have to hire foreign-trained people to get some who can work the problems instead of sounding like phony-baloney Bill McKibbens or Al Gore, Jr.  The best way we can pass on a healthy climate to our kids is to first pass on you.
