Hi, my name is [insert your name], I am a concerned citizen from [insert your city]. I am writing to urge [insert representative’s name] to vote in support of climate change solutions. 

In October 2018, the United Nations released a special report which projected that limiting warming to even the dangerous 1.5°C target this century, will require an unprecedented transformation of every sector of the global economy by 2030. 

The climate crisis is among the greatest challenges facing humanity and Florida is considered Ground Zero, having eight out of the ten cities that will be most impacted in the United States. Florida is expected to be the most affected State by our changing climate in the years to come with severe flooding, extreme heat, increased respiratory diseases, polluted waters and stronger storms to hit the State as early as 2035, according to a recent study by nonprofit research institute, Resources for the Future.  

Florida’s sea level, which is already high by global standards, would likely rise by 8-12 inches above today’s levels by 2040, resulting in frequent coastal flooding negatively impacting real estate, which as per The Army Corps of Engineers would cost $75 billion to build 9,243 miles of sea walls to protect Florida’s coastlines. 

Extreme heat caused by our changing climate would also lead to more mosquitoes that spread diseases like Zika and an increase in the mortality risk across the state by 2040 due to higher risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, hazardous to the health of everyone in the state. 

As a citizen of Florida, I am aware of the impacts of our changing climate and ask you to prioritize protecting our environment, health and economy. 

Thank you for your time.
