Huffman: Our Planet is Warming ... It Will Only Get Worse

Jared Huffman urges the end of sequester.

Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), a member of the Safe Climate Caucus, spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives today to urge the House to end the sequester and move forward on strong legislation to fight Climate Change.

“Because of Climate Change, we are facing stronger and more destructive storms and natural disasters than at any time in American history. At the same time, the Sequester is slashing funding for the agencies that are critical to helping our communities protect, adapt, and rebuild,” Congressman Huffman said. “Our planet is warming, we’re beginning to feel major impacts, and it will only get worse unless we act to protect our climate.”
