Climate change is scary, but windmills are fun!

Many people are either in denial or in despair about climate change. They either try to convince themselves that it cannot possibly be that bad…or they are resigned to the fact that nothing will stop this massive train from rushing down into the abyss.

Even if it’s too late to avert catastrophic warming entirely, there are enormous immediate benefits to taking action–from cleaner air and water to better jobs to healthier communities.

Future generations will suffer the consequences of our inaction, so they will suffer less the more we accomplish.
