Climate change is taking the lives of countless wildlife. Polar bears are left to drown because of melting arctic ice. Sea lions are being poisoned by toxic algae that thrive in warmer waters. Despite these tragedies, the GOP continues to oppose efforts to save the environment.
Republicans in Congress have filed resolutions to block President Obama's plan to strengthen regulations against coal-fired power plants that contribute to climate change. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says that the regulations suggested in Obama's Clean Power Plan "make it clearer than ever that the president and his administration have gone too far — and that Congress should act to stop this regulatory assault."
Taking steps to cut carbon emissions that destroy our environment is not going "too far." It is doing what is necessary to save our planet, our precious species and our health.
Please sign the petition to urge your Congress member to oppose efforts to undermine Obama's Clean Power Plan!
