It’s more important than ever to demand strong action on climate change.

@SenateDems are focused like a laser on highlighting climate change every day and demanding Republicans in charge of the Senate act.

All day today, I’ll share how we’re fighting for action using #EarthDay.

If @realDonaldTrump wants to earn Democratic support in the Senate, any infrastructure bill will have to include policies and funding that help transition our country to a clean-energy economy and mitigate the risks we face from climate change. #EarthDay washingtonpost.com/opinions/chuck…

WORTH A READ: Democrats are going on offense on climate:
-Kicking off a @SenateDems Special Committee on the Climate Crisis
-Focusing on climate in any infrastructure bill
-Asking @SenateGOP to vote showing they believe we must act

Reports say @realDonaldTrump plans to set up a fake panel at the @WhiteHouse of cherry-picked frauds who question the reality of climate change to “counter” the massive scientific consensus.

If he does, @SenateDems will introduce legislation to defund it. #EarthDay

Here’s the letter @SenateDems wrote to the Chamber of Commerce demanding they stop fighting federal efforts on climate change and work with us to enact real, long-lasting policies that will benefit the economy and create millions of jobs. #EarthDay whitehouse.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

WATCH: @SenGaryPeters and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee @HSGAC are holding an #EarthDay Field Summit to examine the rising costs to taxpayers from extreme weather and climate change: facebook.com/HSGAC/videos/3…

Climate change is real.

It’s caused by humans.

And it requires immediate action.

Hear from the members of the @SenateDems new Special Committee on the Climate Crisis how we’re pushing the @SenateGOP to take action now. #EarthDay
