Every
day, there is news of climate catastrophes that may be linked to climate
change.
Every
day, we hear the same excuses from world leaders and legislators: it’s a hoax;
we can’t do anything unless China and India do something; climate has changed
before; there’s no scientific consensus.
Unless
we act, history will show a lack of moral leadership that caused one of the
greatest human failures.
But
there is hope and a path forward. Scientists agree that climate change can be
stopped by ending the burning of fossil fuels. A fee on carbon does exactly
this, in addition to generating jobs and encouraging energy innovation.
If
you want to be part of the solution, join a group such as Citizens Climate
Lobby, a nonpartisan group that is working on getting Congress to pass carbon
reduction legislation.
