Climate Reality | Thank You President Obama

Thank you for advancing your commitment to address carbon pollution. From Superstorm Sandy in the Northeast, to droughts and now flooding in the Midwest, to the massive wildfires ravaging the American West, the reality of climate change has never been more clear. Fueled by carbon pollution, these events are destroying our communities, transforming lives, and costing us billions of dollars each year. We are all paying the incredibly high cost of carbon pollution, while the oil and coal companies causing the pollution are making record profits. This has to change.
