Global Warming and Energy

The time to stop global warming is now. The health of our planet lies in the balance. See what's at stake and how we are putting our leaders in the hot seat.

We're seeing the effects of global warming all around us - more intense heat waves that disproportionately affect the elderly and poor, more severe storms that wreak havoc on our homes and communities, and all kinds of changing cycles in the natural world.

That's why it's unacceptable for the U.S. government and oil companies like ExxonMobil to continue to fuel global warming while refusing to support solutions to the problem. Fortunately, a clean energy revolution is sweeping across the country - we have the tools to put the Earth back in balance, and we can do it today.
