Tell Congress: Trump's Dangerously Wrong. Climate Science Isn’t “Insurrection.”
As Americans across the country bundle up through dangerous winter cold, Donald Trump is once again using freezing temperatures as a punchline to question whether climate change is real — posting “Where’s global warming?” as if one cold snap cancels decades of science.
That’s not leadership. It’s ignorance.
The weather is what happens in your neighborhood this week. Climate is what happens to the planet over time. A cold day — or week — doesn’t erase a warming world, and every serious scientist knows it. In fact, climate change is fueling more extreme, more unpredictable weather, from record heat and megafires to heavier flooding and harsher storms.
But instead of listening to experts, Donald Trump is escalating the danger with reckless rhetoric — calling people who tell the truth about climate change “environmental insurrectionists.”
Let’s be clear: scientists, students, firefighters, parents, and everyday Americans demanding clean air and a livable future are not “insurrectionists.” They’re the people trying to protect our communities while fossil fuel pollution and climate disasters grow worse.
That kind of language isn’t just wrong — it’s threatening and menacing. It paints climate truth-tellers as enemies. It encourages harassment and intimidation. And it gives cover to politicians who want to do nothing while our homes burn, our coastlines flood, and our kids breathe toxic smoke.
Congressmembers: you were elected to face reality, not mock it.
We’re calling on you to:
-
Publicly affirm that climate change is real, human-caused, and already harming Americans
-
Reject Trump-style climate denial and inflammatory attacks on scientists and advocates
-
Pass real climate action that cuts pollution, accelerates clean energy, and protects frontline communities
Stop playing games with our future. Stop rewarding ignorance. Choose science, safety, and survival.
Thank you for all that you do,
Mitch w/ Tipping Point
