Diane -- Climate change isn't just scary. It's expensive. Over the last two years, extreme weather events cost us more than $188 billion. Yes -- that's billion, not million. As the effects of climate change worsen and extreme weather events become more frequent, the cost will only increase. And here we are, still talking about the more than 100 members of Congress -- real-life elected officials -- who are in utter denial about climate change. The thing is, we can do better. We can bring that cost down through smart changes in our policy and at home. But nothing's going to change in Washington until the deniers do. The first step is getting folks to admit we have a problem.

Climate deniers: The list
Thursday, June 6, 2013
Pass this video along - it's a good one
Diane -- Leading up to our big summer of organizing, we put together a short video to help explain who OFA is, what we've done, and where we're going. It's a quick watch -- so if you've got some friends or family who you think should get involved, send them this video and ask them to join the team: Thanks -- and stay tuned for what's next.

And the list keeps growing...
Diane -- Climate deniers are everywhere in Congress -- and OFA supporters just drew another one out into the light. Volunteers have held nearly 100 planning sessions, and had 50 events across the country last week to start the conversation on climate with their legislators. Get this -- following one of these events, a reporter in Missouri tracked down a letter from Rep. Ann Wagner to a blogger, outing herself as yet another lawmaker who doesn't believe in the overwhelming science on this issue. The reporter confirmed the statements in the letter with the congresswoman's office. That's exactly why organizing -- and actually raising our voices -- on climate change matters. And it's not all bad news: Dozens of congressional offices expressed their support during last week's Day of Action on climate, and committed to the fight in the months ahead. Couldn't make it to an event last week? Don't worry -- there will be plenty more chances for you to get involved this summer. Add your name -- and join the team that's working to change the conversation on climate. There are still many folks out there who question the basic fact that climate change is real -- some very influential members of Congress have even called it a hoax. We're working to make sure that, at every step of the way, the Ann Wagners of the world will have to answer to their constituents on why they don't believe in science. Be sure to join the fight to hold climate deniers accountable: http://my.barackobama.com/Hold-Climate-Deniers-Accountable Keep up the great work.
