Climate Change Isn’t Waiting, Why Should We?
Leading scientists agree: We must drastically slash carbon pollution now to slow climate change’s most devastating impacts. We can meet this challenge by urgently developing more clean energy.
CLF In Action
New Englanders need clean energy, and we need it now. CLF played a critical part in passing state laws that mandate cuts to toxic emissions. Now, we are holding our decision-makers accountable for meeting those targets – because without action, these laws are just empty promises. It’s time to implement New England’s climate laws by developing clean energy resources and modernizing our energy systems – for the sake of our health and future.
CLF is also fighting to make sure that the solutions our states invest in actually slash climate pollution – not make it worse like the alternative fuels Big Oil and Gas are greenwashing as renewable.
What’s at Stake
From heat waves over 90 degrees to extreme rainfall and flooding, New Englanders are already feeling the effects of climate change. We’re at a critical point for defending our environment, and it will take systemic changes to avoid further harm to our families and businesses.
Climate change is a problem of outdated systems. We can’t let corrupt energy corporations or complicit politicians continue to force toxic pollution on New Englanders for financial gain. That includes the fossil fuel industry trying to maintain the status quo through alternative fuels that still pollute our earth and our climate. It’s time for us to fight for a clean energy future that will buoy our economy and slow the progression of global warming.
The alternative is subjecting New England’s families, businesses, and homes to worsening storms, heat waves, and health crises. We must act now, cutting carbon pollution drastically to protect a livable New England for our children, their children, and generations to come.
