Lawrence Bender: Congress: Stop Denying An Inconvenient Truth
I'm particularly proud to have worked alongside NWF to carry this message to youth through An Inconvenient Truth in the Classroom and a corresponding website, Climate Classroom, designed for teens. Today's kids will inherit the climate crisis -- we must equip them with the knowledge to solve it.1000 Days | Real Science
Sadly, the message of An Inconvenient Truth still rings true today: Climate change is real and urgent. It should be addressed now.
Yet Congress is in denial.
The signals become more compelling with each passing day. The film predicted some of the extreme weather events that have become all too common this year across the country. Communities have been battered by: severe flooding, heat waves, fires, droughts, rainfalls, tornadoes and hurricanes. And we are barely into hurricane season.
The climate is sending us a message. Congress seems deaf.
It has now been 1000 days since any hurricane hit the US, the longest spell since before the Civil War.
