Americans on the East Coast are bracing for more heavy rain and potential flash flooding as Tropical Storm Debby makes its way north after flooding states in the Southeast and killing six people.¹ Debby is now the fourth storm of the forecasted historic hurricane season following Hurricane Beryl—the earliest Category 5 hurricane on record—with more record-breaking storms expected this year. Scientists say that life-threatening winds and rainfall during hurricane season will become more frequent due to the fossil fuel industry’s pollution warming the Earth at alarming rates.²

Thousands of people’s homes have been damaged or destroyed by the catastrophic flooding from Tropical Storm Debby. Under Project 2025, protections like the National Flood Insurance Program, which provides more-affordable insurance coverage for almost 5 million property owners, would be eliminated, leaving millions of families without flood coverage and the chance to recover.³ Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry, whose destructive emissions cause oceans to warm at rapid rates, resulting in hurricanes producing increased rainfall that causes these floods,⁴ would continue to evade accountability. 

If Republicans succeed with implementing Project 2025, our ability to prepare for extreme weather events and combat the root causes of the climate crisis will be jeopardized. Share this Instagram post with three of your friends to make sure everyone knows our climate resilience is at stake this November!

Under Project 2025, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service—agencies that provide crucial data on climate change and weather forecasts—would be dismantled.⁵ As environmental hazards, including flooding and hurricanes, become more frequent and intense, Americans must continue to have access to the National Weather Service’s alerts and predictions for their safety. We must protect our access to these lifesaving weather alerts and climate data, and make sure everyone knows about these dangerous, anti-science policies in Project 2025. Will you spread the word and share this Instagram post with three of your friends?  

Corporate polluters must be held responsible for their role in the climate crisis and the resulting destruction of our homes and communities. An analysis of the 2020 hurricane season, the most active on record, revealed that hourly rainfall rates were made up to 10% more extreme by global warming.⁶ Instead of holding these fossil fuel polluters accountable for their role in the climate crisis, Republicans are planning to continue putting the fossil fuel industry’s profits over our communities’ safety through Project 2025. 

This November, we have the chance to reject these corporate-friendly, anti-science policies, but we need to make sure everyone knows just how dangerous Project 2025’s agenda is. Together, we can protect our environmental future by making sure Project 2025’s backers are nowhere near the White House.
