Received this e-mail today from Senator Tom Udall (D. NM):
If anyone still denies that climate change is real, I invite them to come to New Mexico.
New Mexico is suffering the worst drought conditions in the nation. Temperatures in our state have been rising 50 percent faster than the global national average in recent decades.
Climate change is very real. And so are the costs to New Mexico's economy, our families, and our way of life.
Two weeks ago, the President called on Congress to take steps to counteract the effects of climate change. And today, I'm asking you to add your voice. Demand that Congress take immediate action to address climate change:

For years, I've been fighting for a "Do It All, Do It Right" energy policy -- one that takes on the threats of climate change and our dependence on foreign oil together. I've worked to pass a Renewable Energy Standard to increase development of clean energy and diversify our energy supply.
There is no magic answer. We need smart, forward-thinking solutions that address the problem of climate change from all angles.
I was pleased to hear the President calling for bold action. I'm ready to work with him. And I invite you to add your support:

Let President Obama know you support bold action on climate change. Add your name right now:

I'm extremely proud of the progress New Mexico has made in creating clean energy jobs and reducing carbon emissions. And I'm looking forward to working toward bringing those policies to the rest of the country.
Thank you for your support.
Tom
