Last week, I wrote an op-ed in The Villager
<https://nadler.house.gov/components/redirect/r.aspx?ID=471674-53157372>
calling on Congress and the Administration to tackle the crisis of climate
change head-on and to improve our nation's climate resilience. To read my
full op-ed, please click here

Below is a portion of the op-ed:

*"Climate change is real and threatens all of us, regardless of
nationality, political party, or economic status. Extreme climate change
has already arrived in the United States and impacts every congressional
district across our country. *

*"In New York City, the potential for stronger storms and rising seas mean
Sandy-level flooding could occur once every 23 years as opposed to once
every 400. The 2018 National Climate Assessment, a report compiled by 13
federal scientific agencies, warns that we only have a small window of time
to take meaningful action to cut carbon emissions if we are to avoid
irreversible changes. *

*"Scientists warn that window could close within about a decade if the
earth heats up by an average of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If that happens,
shrinking glaciers in the poles could lead to a massive sea-level rise,
harming the planet’s ability to recover from further warming. *

*"That metric may seem theoretical, but it’s not; according to the analysis
from The Washington Post, 71 counties have already hit the 3.6 degrees
Fahrenheit mark, including all five boroughs. *

*"At a time when America should be leading the global fight against climate
change, the Trump Administration has taken our nation backward, recklessly
withdrawing us from the Paris Agreement and rolling back countless
environmental regulations designed to curb greenhouse-gas emissions."*
