Know Your Congress Representatives' Positions on Climate

Our top scientific institutions, the U.S. military, NASA, NOAA, and nearly all credible experts say pollution is causing our planet to get warmer. Still, false information designed to discredit climate science is actively promoted by organizations with ties to fossil fuels, and many leaders in Congress are also spreading disinformation for political reasons. While fossil fuel companies are generating enormous profits, we ultimately will bear the costs associated with extreme weather and rising sea levels. Where does your Congress representative stand on the issue? We've researched every district in the United States and made it easy for you to lookup your representatives' positions on climate using your address in the form below.

On June 28, 2016, a letter signed by 31 leading U.S. scientific organizations was sent to Congress urging representatives to end ignorance and denial of climate change. A surprising number of United States Congress representatives still refuse to admit there is consensus on the issue and continue to spread misinformation about climate change in order to allow pollution from fossil fuels to continue.

Dear Members of Congress,

We, as leaders of major scientific organizations, write to remind you of the consensus scientific view of climate change.

Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research concludes that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver. This conclusion is based on multiple independent lines of evidence and the vast body of peer-reviewed science.

“The only place you can find climate change deniers to this day is in the halls of Congress.” – Dianna DeGette, Colorado

“Only in America is there widespread doubt about climate change–and that only comes from one party. One candidate even went so far as to say we should be worried about a looming Ice Age. So much for science.” – Thomas Mills, North Carolina district 8 candidate
