Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jon Tester’s (D. MT) re-election campaign:
Is climate change real?
Ask a Montana farmer. Sharla and I are bringing in the harvest weeks early this year.
Ask any farmer or rancher across the western United States. Their crops and herds are suffering from drought.
Ask anyone from an area hit by severe storms. Folks from communities all across Montana and all around the country can tell you the climate is changing, and it’s affecting our economy.
Yes, climate change is a real thing -- and we have to do something about it. You can't fix a problem by pretending it doesn't exist. You have to dig in, find solutions wherever they exist, and take action.
If we don't act, this problem will only get worse and worse. I'm calling on my colleagues in Congress to take steps to address climate change. Join me by adding your name.
Thanks,
Jon
