The path forward cannot be military action—it must be diplomacy and cooperation.
Write today and demand that your members of Congress: 1) publicly denounce the attacks on Iran; and 2) call on the president use diplomacy instead of bombs with Iran's leaders.

NOAA says some content will move to noaa.gov/climate, but details remain unclear. UCS will be monitoring to ensure this vital info remains accessible, intact and usable.

The #BigBillionaireBill severely undermines our nation’s forward progress on climate action and will contribute to hotter, more dangerous, and more expensive summers – all to fund a massive giveaway to billionaires and corporations.

The #BigBillionaireBill crushes clean energy investments, threatening to reduce renewables deployment by *72%* over the next 10 years, right as clean energy momentum is set to soar.

The #BigBillionaireBill makes it harder for businesses and households to switch to clean cars and trucks, takes away money for energy infrastructure, and rolls back clean vehicle standards – the most impactful climate rules we have.

The reconciliation bill will: raise energy costs for families and businesses, eliminate hundreds of thousands of new clean economy jobs, cancel hundreds of billions of dollars of forward-looking infrastructure investments, and substantially increase heat-trapping emissions. #BigBillionaireBill

“In addition to the concerning seasonal outlook, the federal government’s ability to identify, track and respond to wildfires could be in serious jeopardy in light of the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to staff and programs at NOAA, FEMA and the USDA,” said UCS’s Carly Phillips in a statement.

⏰ The clock is ticking to address clean air & climate change. Manufacturers like Toyota spent money & resources fighting against clean vehicle standards instead of preparing themselves to meet the moment. We can’t let companies continue to chase profits at the expense of our health. Learn more:

Clean vehicle standards 🤝 clean air. That's why last month UCS expressed disappointment when the Senate voted to *repeal* 3 federal waivers that let CA (& other states) adopt clean vehicle standards that would improve air quality & reduce GHG emissions:
