Tell Republicans: Stop Denying Climate Change

The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene is a stark reminder of the reality of climate change. The storm left more than millions of people without power, caused catastrophic flooding, and led to a tragic loss of life across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee. 

Entire communities have been wiped out, homes destroyed, and families torn apart. Our hearts go out to those suffering in the aftermath. And at the same time, we must confront the truth behind this disaster.

Scientists have warned for decades that the burning of fossil fuels is fueling climate change, resulting in stronger and more frequent hurricanes. Helene is just the latest in a series of climate-fueled disasters. 

Despite those facts, politicians like Donald Trump and North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson continue to deny the reality of climate change and downplay its devastating impacts. In fact, over the weekend, as Helene was battering the South, Trump dismissed climate change as "one of the great scams of all time" – ignoring and downplaying the suffering of countless Americans.

This shouldn't be about politics—it’s about survival. The people impacted by Hurricane Helene deserve better than to have their suffering ignored or minimized by climate change deniers. 

We need leaders who will face the crisis head-on and take action to mitigate future disasters. It’s time to push for policies that protect our communities and our planet before it's too late.

Sign this petition to demand that Republican leaders stop spreading lies about climate change and start listening to scientists.
