Facing the facts on the cost of carbon pollution

Organizing for Action
Joe --

Climate science shows that carbon pollution is the biggest contributor to climate change.

Now, thanks to new information from the White House Office of Management and Budget, we have better data than ever on how much each ton of carbon emissions costs us.

These new numbers on the social cost of carbon are thorough, well-researched, and sound -- but climate change deniers in Congress and their allies in the polluter lobby are trying to bury them.

Don't let the deniers go unanswered -- add your name to tell the OMB you support facing the facts on carbon pollution.

These climate change deniers would have us believe that the jury is still out on the science of climate change. That couldn't be further from the truth -- 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is man-made and real.

The impacts from climate change already include increased droughts and floods, longer wildfire seasons, and we'll see decreased food production and growth in respiratory illnesses.

This is serious business. Just last week, we found out that dozens of the biggest companies in the world -- including big oil companies -- are already estimating the costs of carbon to their businesses, showing just how out of touch these climate change deniers are.

These are real problems, and they're already affecting millions of Americans every year.

Add your name now to stand up to the climate change deniers, and say it's time to face up to the very real costs of carbon pollution:

Thanks -- more soon,
