Climate Change Made New York's
Flooding Worse. When Will President Biden
Act? | | |
This
September, New York experienced a month's worth of
rainfall during a single storm. In parts of Brooklyn,
over 2.5 inches of rain fell in a single hour.
At the time, many people suspected that such an
extreme weather event was the result of climate change —
and now, scientists have
confirmed it.
In fact, a recent
study shows that the type of storm seen in New York is
on average 10-20% wetter than it would have been
a century ago — because of climate
chaos.
President Joe Biden pitched
himself as a climate candidate. But he still has not declared
a climate change-related state of
emergency, despite years or urging from
scientists and environmental
organizers.
Declaring a state of emergency is an
important step because it would ensure access to more
funding, resources, and other services, which will be
necessary to radically change the U.S.'s approach to
curbing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the
environment.
Storms like the ones in New York
aren't minor inconveniences. They can be fatal,
and can cause millions of dollars in infrastructure
damage.
We cannot let these scary
extreme weather events become the norm. It is
time we call it like it is: we are living in a time of
climate crisis. Now, U.S. President Biden
must finally declare a state of emergency! Sign now if
you
agree! | | |
