Friends --
On the day after Thanksgiving -- while millions of Americans were traveling or spending time with their families -- the Trump administration quietly released a bombshell government report on climate change.
The latest edition of the National Climate Assessment confirms what 97 percent of climate scientists have agreed on for years: Climate change is real and manmade.
It also shines a spotlight on the devastating damage climate change is already doing to American communities, and the increasing risks that our country and economy face if we don't take more aggressive action right away.
This report was written by 13 federal agencies and vetted by hundreds of climate scientists. The administration wants to hide the truth, so it's up to us to spread the word.
See how climate change affects your region, and share the report with your friends and family:
![The administration buried a critical climate report by releasing it the day after Thanksgiving -- take a look for yourself and share it with your family and friends.]()
This report made it abundantly clear, friend:
Climate-related impacts -- like the deadly wildfires in California, and devastating hurricanes like Florence, Michael, and Harvey -- have cost us hundreds of billions of dollars. They have destroyed homes and taken far too many lives.
It doesn't have to be this way: If we pass policy that cuts carbon pollution, we'll save lives. We'll have cleaner air and healthier communities, and our economy will be stronger and more resilient.
We can fix this.
But it will take leadership that respects the conclusions of the overwhelming majority scientists. It will take representatives who don't deny the basic science and the obvious impacts right in front of them, and instead have the courage to act.
See the report yourself and spread the word: It's up to us.
Thanks,
Jack
