With climate disasters on the rise, we shouldn’t have to wait for national action to protect our communities. Together, we can build local resilience for a liveable future. on.nrdc.org/46wOymR

BREAKING: We’ve joined over 120 medical societies and health organizations urging EPA to protect the endangerment finding. Rolling it back would ignore today’s climate threats and put Americans at risk of worsening health harms.

Today we were joined by members of Congress and fellow climate advocates to oppose Trump’s #ClimateChaosPlan and Zeldin’s attacks on the Endangerment Finding. With over 225,000 public comments, we’re delivering a clear message: NO to Trump’s rollbacks!
TOMORROW: PSR is joining @actonclimateUS to highlight critical agency funding. We'll discuss the roles of science, research, and emergency preparedness—and why Congress must prevent cuts to protect Americans from climate change. #ForASafeClimate

(1/4) Last month, 630+ people—including 44 Moms members— showed up to testify at the virtual public hearing for @EPA’s proposal to rescind the Endangerment Finding & greenhouse gas standards for vehicles.
The Endangerment Finding is the legal & scientific basis for EPA’s ability to cut climate pollution from some of the most major sources, including the transportation industry.
Climate pollution is heating the planet, supercharging dangerous extreme weather and disasters like hurricanes, floods, heat waves, droughts, and wildfires.

The scientific consensus is overwhelming: climate change is real, dangerous, and worsening. DOE’s draft report is a political document pretending otherwise. #DefendScience #RealScience MORE: tinyurl.com/DOE-comment

🆕 from @AmProg: Nearly 60 U.S. utilities are asking to raise rates by a total of $38.3 billion. Unfortunately for the 56.7 million electric and 26 million natural gas customers impacted, actions by House Republicans may drive rates even higher. ⬇️
