The "pragmatic, science-based regulations proposed by @EPA will work hand-in-hand with recent investments and incentives approved by Congress to secure meaningful emission reductions from the power sector.” - @nature_org's Jason Albritton. nature.org/en-us/newsroom/ep…

Former U.S. Senator @bfrist to the Senate today: Don't back down, double down on American leadership and investment in clean energy, natural climate solutions, coastal and ocean resilience. These policies benefit our economy and our communities. nature.ly/3HV3U9h

The exciting agreement announced today by Senate leadership is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030; that’s the kind of action we need to fight climate change and boost the clean energy economy. manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/…

The #SCOTUS decision in #WVvEPA makes it harder for the U.S. to meet its goals in the battle against climate change and highlights the urgent need for congressional action NOW to avoid catastrophic climate change. nature.ly/3OSLneN

The #SCOTUS decision in #WVvEPA spotlights the urgency of congressional climate action this year. Congress should act now and approve clean energy tax credits, investments in natural climate solutions and other climate provisions under consideration. nature.org/en-us/newsroom/us…

The most troubling warning: some dire effects of climate change will be irreversible - including sea level rise and damage to coral reefs - if global average temperatures exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. (3/6) ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/resou…

Americans have shown they support #climateaction, from demand for electric cars to bipartisan support for investments in energy infrastructure. But we're not close to where we need to be to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. nature.org/en-us/about-us/wh… (5/6)

The U.S. must expand upon historic policies to match the scale of the climate crisis. Recent meaningful steps to reduce emissions are important, but not nearly enough to stave off dire consequences from #climatechange. Here's how Congress can help: (6/6) nature.org/en-us/about-us/wh…
This week's #IPCC report makes it clear: now is the time for #climateaction. While we celebrate recent progress, we must accelerate the momentum for climate action, or risk losing our chance to make great strides over the next decade. Here's what we need to do. (1/6)

The latest IPCC #ClimateReport confirms that human-caused climate change already is impacting livelihoods across the globe, and, as @KHayhoe points out, climate change is the "ultimate threat-multiplier." (2/6) nature.org/en-us/newsroom/ka…

A Thanksgiving message from @LasVegasSun and @nature_org : We must act boldly to protect our nation's bounty, and Congress can take bold steps right now. @MauriciaBaca @JasonAlbritto16 nature.ly/3nDgzny
A once-in-a-generation investment in climate action is one step closer to becoming a reality!
Today's House passage of the #BuildBackBetter Act – plus the recent infrastructure bill and new international climate commitments – give us a healthy dose of the momentum and hope we need to tackle the climate and nature crises. nature.ly/3DCls5I
Thanks to @LasVegasSun for publishing this Thanksgiving message. On behalf of our own and future generations, we need to Congress to act boldly to fight climate change. @MauriciaBaca #BuildBackBetter m.lasvegassun.com/news/2021/…

The $555 billion in climate investments and policies proposed by the #BuildBackBetter bill are at a scale and scope the United States has never done before. These are the kind of tools we must have to answer the crisis of our time. See our statement.  nature.ly/3CoWhmP
