John,
As we speak, sea ice in the Arctic is melting under record-high temperatures一and soon it could disappear completely. As the ice melts due to heavy carbon pollution from burning fossil fuels, wildlife like the ringed seal that depend on the ice for food and shelter are losing crucial portions of their habitat.
But you can speak up for these precious creatures and their habitat. Please urge your members of Congress to support clean energy incentives that will help move our nation away from polluting fossil fuels and protect people and wildlife from the impacts of climate change.
The Arctic is known for its year-round cold temperatures, snowy backdrop, and for the sea ice which is the cornerstone of its ecosystem. But as heat is trapped in Earth’s atmosphere by carbon pollution caused by human activities一like burning fossil fuels for energy and driving gas-powered cars一the Arctic is facing scorching temperatures that threaten to melt all its sea ice and collapse its fragile ecosystem. In 2018, Arctic temperatures hit 63 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average. This isn’t normal一and we need to do something about it.
Take action for Arctic wildlife like the ringed seal today.
Congress is currently considering a package of tax proposals, some of which include tax incentives for clean energy generation一like solar and wind一as well as energy storage, energy efficiency, and electric vehicles. Clean energy tax incentives represent our best hope for winnable near-term policies to drive down deadly carbon pollution while encouraging investment in the clean energy economy一which helps Americans in every state and protects wildlife from the catastrophic impacts of climate change. And, these incentives help taxpayers like you invest in climate solutions!
It’s not too late to fight for the Arctic and its wildlife. Please urge your members of Congress to support clean energy tax incentives today!
