We're done debating the basic facts of climate change

Friend -- It's tough out there for climate change deniers. One by one, literally every argument and excuse they've been using for years is being proven false. They're still grasping at myths and conspiracy theories, but deniers are on the run. Let's keep them there -- join the team that's calling out climate change deniers. In reality, the debate on the basics is over. Not only do 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and man-made, but new reports are showing climate and extreme weather impacts are affecting us right now. Droughts, floods, wildfires, and storms are hitting communities from California to the East Coast, and we're already spending hundreds of billions on climate-related disaster relief -- no one is denying that. Instead, what you hear from climate change deniers are mostly excuses for not taking action. Some have hidden behind foreign countries, saying America can't or shouldn't lead on climate until someone else goes first. Let's set aside for a minute that this isn't actually how we solve global problems. The fact is, President Obama is leading internationally through agreements with China and India to cut carbon pollution and expand the use of clean energy. (So there goes that denier talking point...) Another thing you might hear from a denier is that we simply can't get serious about cutting carbon pollution without destroying the economy. That's just false. For example, the climate and public health benefits from President Obama's Clean Power Plan outweigh the costs by at least six times. Maybe deniers doubt we have the will and ingenuity to take such a huge problem on. Well, the American people are proving them wrong: Since 2009, we've increased solar power ten-fold and tripled wind power. Hundreds of thousands of Americans work in clean energy today. The arguments from deniers are getting more and more ludicrous. We have the facts on our side -- and we have to drive that message home. Because as long as deniers and polluters are blocking progress, we're not doing all we can to combat climate change.
