COST OF INACTION
While it is impossible to predict the precise toll extreme weather fueled by climate change will exact on Americans in the coming year, $148.4 billion represents our best estimation based on current trends. Billion-dollar weather events occur sporadically throughout the year, many Americans are experiencing environmental trauma daily as they continue to recover from past damage while preparing for impending climate disasters. To represent this omnipresent threat of climate or weather disaster, we will represent the estimated annual cost on a per second basis--$4,705.73/second. Visit CAC for more information.
We must protect our environment, our climate, and Madre Tierra's natural resources. They cannot be taken advantage of for corporate gain or greed, especially at the risk of public safety and health to underrepresented communities. Everyone has the right to clean air, water, and access to public lands. We urge elected officials and corporations to fight for our climate now.
