We need our elected officials to recognize the severity of the IPCC report by committing to climate plans that radically reduce emissions to zero.
If we can get hundreds of letters published in local media across the country, we can build pressure for our leaders to finally act on the IPCC report.
Writing a letter to the editor is a simple. Just put in your address on the right and it will share different media outlets with you. Select one or more, and you’ll be able to enter in your letter to the editor. You can write your own from the talking points below or just use the sample provided, but personalizing it always helps.
Send a Letter to the Editor using our tool right now and help put the pressure on your local candidates to act on the newest IPCC report.
NOTE: Your local newspaper may not be included in the tool, in which case we recommend going to their website to get the submission address and requirements.
The newly released IPCC report (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/) says that it’s “now or never” if the world is to stave off climate disaster.
After a report like this, we cannot go on “business-as-usual.” Any policy that doesn’t include phasing out fossil fuels is not a real climate plan. “Net zero” pledges are not going to get the job done, we need Real Zero.
"Net zero emissions” does NOT mean “zero emissions.” In many cases, it means the exact opposite and is instead used as a polluter-driven greenwashing scheme.
Instead of relying on unproven future technologies, we demand climate plans that radically reduce emissions to zero.
We must put pressure on our government officials to read the IPCC report and pledge your commitment to Real Zero emissions.
