Tell Senator Ted Cruz to act on climate change
Senator Cruz and other presidential hopefuls: Develop a science-based climate plan to cut global warming emissions in accordance with the internationally recognized target of limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius.
Why is this important?
Senator Ted Cruz claims climate change is a "religion." As the world's nations gathered to sign a historic climate agreement in Paris in November, Senator Cruz was back home hosting climate change deniers in a Senate hearing aimed at casting doubt on climate science. Yet in his home state of Texas, 2015 saw both extreme drought and epic flooding—extreme weather that has been linked to climate change. Hundreds lost their homes in the Memorial Day weekend floods. Senator Cruz should acknowledge the science of global warming and develop a plan to protect Texas and the rest of the country from the worst impacts of climate change.
