Senator Bernie Sanders on Climate Change - The United States Must Lead the World

Senator Bernie Sanders on Climate Change

The United States must lead the world in tackling climate change and make certain that this planet is habitable for our children and grandchildren.
We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainable energies. Millions of homes and buildings need to be weatherized, our transportation system needs to be energy efficient and we need to greatly accelerate the progress we are already seeing in wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other forms of sustainable energy. Transforming our energy system will not only protect the environment, it will create good paying jobs.

Unless we take bold action to address climate change, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are going to look back on this period in history and ask a very simple question: Where were they? Why didn’t the United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth, lead the international community in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and preventing the devastating damage that the scientific community was sure would come?


Stand with Senator Sanders to address climate change. He won't let big money influence his actions.
