Rising temperatures. Disastrous droughts. Melting glaciers and polar ice sheets. Polar bears headed to extinction. The
climate crisis isn’t on the way. It’s here. And what we do in the next two to three years will determine our planet’s fate.
The good news is that technologies to solve the problem already exist. And applying those technologies would create a clean,
green energy future with thousands of new businesses and millions of new jobs, at little or no net cost to our economy.
JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!
Tackling global warming will generate a jobs program of epic proportions. And it’s bigger than just solar power and wind
turbines. Even more jobs will be created by producing and installing energy-saving technology — simple things like better
insulation, energy-efficient light bulbs, refrigerators and air-conditioning systems. Putting smart technology into new
buildings and homes will create still more good jobs. All told, going greener will create millions of new American jobs and
pour billions of dollars into our struggling economy.
IT’S UP TO CONGRESS. IT’S UP TO YOU.
The U.S. Senate is about to take up the Climate Security Act — an important step toward defusing the climate crisis. It
should be a no-brainer: stimulate the economy while preventing the most costly and devastating disaster humankind has
ever known. Yet the fossil-fuel lobby — coal, oil and backward-looking utility companies — are spending millions of dollars
to pressure Congress into killing or weakening the bill. We can’t let that happen.
Go to www.NRDCActionFund.org and tell your Senators to strengthen and pass the Climate Security Act. It’s time to start
a clean energy revolution that will boost our economy
and save the world.
