"Communities across the country are experiencing worsening impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, crippling drought, increased flooding, more intense wildfires and more severe storms. In addition, more than 3 million Americans are currently working in the rapidly growing clean energy and transportation sector, and the global clean energy market is projected to total over $60 trillion in the next 25 years. If we fail to compete, companies and workers in other countries will dominate the market for clean energy resources and technology.
America has become a global leader on climate change -- and as one of the world's biggest contributors to the problem, that's a rightful role for us to play. Withdrawing the U.S. from the climate treaty will demolish our status as a world climate leader and turn us into a global pariah -- threatening not just our environment but our economy and national security.
71% of Americans, including 57% of Republicans, want the U.S. to stay committed to the Paris Agreement! These numbers are only growing."
