I’m a world renowned climate scientist and wanted to share my personal thoughts with you

 Our window to act is closing and I genuinely fear it will be too late if Republicans sweep to power in November and roll back all of the progress we’ve made these past few years.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 314 Action Fund is the only national organization working to train, recruit, support, and elect Democrats with STEM and medical backgrounds to office at all levels of government.

Friends – I have spent my entire career researching the Earth’s climate and the climate crisis facing our planet. I have been attacked for my research, investigated by Republicans, and the target of countless smear campaigns to try and discredit my work over the years. I wanted to reach out personally to say first and foremost: In my professional opinion, climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity’s long-term survival. But! And I want to emphasize this: I am NOT a climate alarmist or pessimist. I am still an optimist. It isn’t too late for us to change course (and I make the case for that [in my new book ‘Our Fragile Moment’](. But our window to act is closing and I genuinely fear it will be too late if Republicans sweep to power in November and roll back all of the progress we’ve made these past few years. [I’m humbly asking: Will you make a donation to my friends at 314 Action ahead of tonight's deadline? They are working to elect climate scientists and climate champions at all levels of government and they can’t do this work without you.]( You might not recognize my name. But chances are you’ve seen my work: I authored the original ‘Hockey Stick’ Chart as part of my 1999 publication that demonstrated the clear link between human greenhouse gas emissions and global warming that has been widely featured across the world. So believe me when I tell you that under President Joe Biden and under Democratic majorities in Congress and state legislatures, the most aggressive and important climate legislation in our nation’s history has been passed into law in the past few years and is taking effect. It’s a good start but we need to do more. In fact, for humanity’s sake, we have to do more. But if Republicans take power this November, they will slam the brakes on all of those policies, programs, and initiatives. They will block any meaningful future ones and in fact, will hand the steering wheel of our country over to the fossil fuel industry. This is the most pivotal election for climate to date. My friends at 314 Action elected the only two climate scientists in Congress (in highly competitive races) thanks to supporters like you. And they’re working to elect HUNDREDS of Democratic scientists who have pledged to take action on climate this November. If these candidates win their tough races, we will secure a climate majority in Congress and in state legislatures across the country. [Our window to act is closing. So I’m asking you to act: Join me in supporting 314 Action and let’s elect a historic wave of Democratic scientists who will lead the fight on climate.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed.

Since 2017, we’ve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters – Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, we’ll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
