Help Us Pass the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act
Please visit our online action center this week to help us pass the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act S. 3036 (formerly S. 2191) through the U.S. Senate, a historic bill that will help stop the harmful effects of climate change and protect the nation's trout and salmon streams.
WHY WE CARE
TU is deeply concerned about climate change because its adverse effects hit trout and salmon resources especially hard. A TU report we released in December, Healing Troubled Waters, and another report we helped to author, Season's End, summarize various recent studies that show trout and salmon populations are likely to decline by 50% or more in regions that will be most affected by global warming.
But it's not too late. Though it seems like a grim picture, these reports also provide a roadmap for what can be done to help rivers and fish build resistance and resilience to the effects of climate change. If Congress can pass strong legislation soon to fix the root problem then coldwater resources can and will prosper for decades to come. The science tells us that we must act soon.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Please visit our online action center this week and tell your senators to vote for passage of S. 3036, the Lieberman Warner Act. The United States can help stop the harmful effects of climate change, but only if we act soon.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or for more information.
Sincerely,
Steve Moyer
Vice President for Government Affairs
