Re: Extreme weather in New York

Friend, [sign the petition: State governments can do even more to curb climate change.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( This summer, we are reeling from the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. We are coping with floods, record heat, wildfires, rising ocean temperatures, and tornadoes. And as long as the climate crisis remains unchecked, these life-threatening weather events will not just continue, they will increase in frequency. While Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)–landmark legislation that provides the most ambitious funding ever for tackling climate change–it will be up to the state legislatures to ensure that IRA funds are in line with legislative climate and clean energy goals. Our state governments must do just that, and more, to properly address the climate crisis. [Sign the petition: State governments can do even more to curb climate change.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( As advocates work to pass federal climate legislation, state governments must also seize the opportunity to pursue aggressive climate action. States must enact new emissions standards, and clean energy goals, laws, and regulations that will not only address the crisis but grow our clean energy economies, create new jobs, improve public health, and build more resilient communities. And they must ensure the IRA funding provided to their state address commitments to curb climate change. [Sign the petition to your state elected officials: In order to address the climate crisis, I am counting on YOU to enact bold measures and make further commitments to curb climate change at the state level.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos Before you leave, can you do one more thing? 2023 has been a hard financial year for Daily Kos.
