Wells in California are drying up at a record pace due to #climatechange, forcing many residents to rely on bottled water to survive. We need to take #climateaction now to protect drinking water. Read more: wapo.st/3Vz10eF

Unless serious action is taken to limit emissions and curb #climatechange, extreme heatwave events – like the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave that killed hundreds – will become more frequent. @Ben_Geman and @afreedma report: bit.ly/3ATCZap

A recent @Nature study found more than half of infectious diseases can be aggravated by #climatechange. Curbing emissions is vital to protect public health. More from @CC_Yale: bit.ly/3VvMZ1k

From @PopSci: #ClimateChange is expected to strengthen El Niño and La Niña events by 2030, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events like floods and droughts. The U.S. must do more to combat climate change and protect against extreme weather: bit.ly/3EKsDur
.@NOAAResearch found the Arctic Circle warmed 4x faster than the rest of the planet, which will raise sea levels worldwide, change how heat and water circulate, and may influence extreme weather events like heat waves and rainstorms. More from @zhonggg: nyti.ms/3BySDIB
From @Nature: In order to limit global warming below 1.5°C this century, countries need to create more ambitious goals for curbing their emissions for 2030 and beyond. An economy-wide #carbonprice can help the U.S. hit our #netzero goals. More: go.nature.com/3ttDt2S
#ClimateChange is fueling a public health crisis as increased extreme weather causes increased rates of heat stroke, breathing disorders, & mental health disorders. The U.S. must take action to stop climate change & protect public health. More in @sciam: bit.ly/3AgOKHI
Countries are failing to live up to their climate pledges, endangering efforts to curb emissions and #climatechange. The U.S. must take more aggressive #climateaction and instate an economy wide #carbonprice to reach our #netzero goals. Read more: wapo.st/3fKpmmw
Our country has made a lot of progress on #climate recently, but the work must continue. We're proud to join #ClimateWeekNYC to keep the momentum for an economy-wide #carbonprice going.

The #InflationReductionAct is the strongest legislative action ever taken to combat the #climatecrisis. At this historic moment, @CEOClimate applauds Congress for sending it to @POTUS and looks forward to making further progress toward our #climate goals: bit.ly/3QAIb8g
We applaud the Senate passage of the #InflationReductionAct, which will make historic investments in reducing emissions & accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. We urge the House to quickly follow suit and pass this important legislation ceoclimatedialogue.org/ccd-s…
ICYMI: @CEOClimate member @Cummins CEO Jennifer Rumsey participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by @POTUS @WhiteHouse this week to discuss how Inflation Reduction Act "is good for the economy and the environment.” youtube.com/watch?v=KxClM3A0…
“We truly believe that we can do things that are good for the environment and for our customers and our business.”- @CEOClimate member @Cummins CEO, Jennifer Rumsey, at Inflation Reduction Act roundtable hosted by @POTUS

.@CEOClimate applauds Senate lawmakers for including robust #cleanenergy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, which would be a historic investment in reducing emissions and accelerating the U.S. transition to a #lowcarbon economy. Our statement: bit.ly/3Su863B
However, these incentives alone will not be enough to meet our #climate goals. Congress must also establish an economy-wide #carbonprice to achieve the U.S. goal of reaching #netzero emissions by 2050.
