Congrats on releasing the #CaseForClimateAction report, Senate Democrats' Climate Committee! The #ClimateCrisis is the most existential threat of our lifetimes. This report and the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis Action plan we released this summer show clear momentum for desperately needed congressional action.

Too often, we talk about what climate change is doing to us — and not enough about what climate action can do *for* us. Acting on climate now means improved quality of life, more fairness & new jobs. Check out our #CaseForClimateAction report for more. democrats.senate.gov/climate

If we are going to address climate chaos and bring environmental justice to marginalized communities, we have to address the fossil fuel industry pumping dark money into our elections. Our plan acknowledges this reality: theguardian.com/us-news/2020/a…

Too much of the climate movement of the past was about what climate change is doing to us—not about what climate action will do for us. Our #CaseForClimateAction report lays out how we can solve the climate crisis in a way that works for everyone ↓ medium.com/@SenBrianSchat…

Our transition to a clean economy can’t succeed without organized labor. Our bold climate action will promote the right to organize, better wages & higher labor standards. Read more about our commitment to unions in our #CaseForClimateAction ⬇️ democrats.senate.gov/climate-report

For too long, important voices haven’t had a seat at the table when discussing climate. Our #CaseForClimateAction prioritizes environmental justice, detailing how we can protect & invest in the low income communities & communities of color most vulnerable to a changing climate.

NEW: a big win in our fight against the climate crisis! The U.S. will phase down the use of a potent pollutant: hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. Included in the annual spending deal is a provision to reduce HFCs by 85% in the next 15 years, which will help reduce global warming.

Here's something you might not have realized: there's a really important #climate bill wrapped inside of the #COVIDrelief package. Sarah Kaplan lays it out, from clean energy subsidies to the phase down of refrigerants that are warming the planet: washingtonpost.com/climate-soluti…
