I genuinely fear it will be too late if Republicans sweep to power in November

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.

Below is a personal message from Dr. Michael Mann – one of the world’s leading climate experts and the recipient of the Tyler Prize (often called the Nobel Prize for the Environment).

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’](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRoBmL2P0TKaHR0cHM6Ly9taWNoYWVsbWFubi5uZXQvYm9va3Mvb3VyLWZyYWdpbGUtbW9tZW50P3NvdXJjZT10bXJfZW1fZnJfY2RfMjQwNDE5XzMxNCZjZG1jPTJmRUxmdVFpZ1NpS3NLdEd6bUxwR0dVVHBMSSZyZWZjb2RlMj0yZkVMZnVRaWdTaUtzS3RHem1McEdHVVRwTEkmcmVmY29kZWNkbWM9MmZFTGZ1UWlnU2lLc0t0R3ptTHBHR1VUcExJJnJlZmNvZGVjZHY9QlcDc3BjQgpmFfbdI2ZtBU1GUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAbk~)).

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 The Majority Rules. Let’s elect a historic wave of Democratic scientists who will lead the fight on climate.Â](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRoBmL2P0TNaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL3Rtci0zMTQ_YW1vdW50PTE1JnNvdXJjZT10bXJfZW1fZnJfY2RfMjQwNDE5XzMxNCZjZG1jPTJmRUxmdVFpZ1NpS3NLdEd6bUxwR0dVVHBMSSZyZWZjb2RlMj0yZkVMZnVRaWdTaUtzS3RHem1McEdHVVRwTEkmcmVmY29kZWNkbWM9MmZFTGZ1UWlnU2lLc0t0R3ptTHBHR1VUcExJJnJlZmNvZGVjZHY9QlcDc3BjQgpmFfbdI2ZtBU1GUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAbk~) If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be automatically split between 314 Action and the Majority Rules.
