Climate change is more than data

Organizing for Action
Friend --

Man-made climate change is a scientific reality.

But it's not just about the data and science. Climate change is about droughts, and the farms that go out of business because they can't grow crops or feed livestock. It's about floods and wildfires, and the people who lose their homes.

The stories of how real people's lives are affected by climate change are a powerful reminder of why we need to act -- and why OFA is part of this fight. That's why I want to make sure you know about a new Showtime series,"Years of Living Dangerously", that just premiered last Sunday.

I've had a chance to see part of the series, and I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Go watch the trailer for "Years of Living Dangerously," and share it with your friends today.

You've heard that 97 percent of climate scientists agree on the reality of man-made climate change.

That's no joke -- and it should be enough to convince Congress to take action.

But even though too many members of Congress are still in denial over the scientific consensus behind climate change, they can't ignore the real-world consequences.

That's what "Years of Living Dangerously" is all about -- from Superstorm Sandy in the Northeast to droughts in Texas and wildfires in Idaho. It's this kind of here-and-now storytelling that can be so powerful in changing the conversation on climate.

You may also be surprised to see who's on board with changing the conversation on climate: Correspondents for the series include Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle.

Check out this short trailer for the series, and share it with your friends:
