Iowa Senator Rob Hogg, author of America’s Climate Century, is touring New Hampshire and other New England states Aug. 17 to 29 to call on Americans to take the climate action we so urgently need and to make the fight against climate change our new national purpose. As he says, it is the defining historical challenge of this century – and Americans need to lead the world in the fight for sustainability and survival.
Hogg will be appearing at the New Hampshire Audubon McLane Center, 84 Silk Farm Road, on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m.
The fight against climate change means slashing greenhouse gas emissions by moving beyond fossil fuels while at the same time safeguarding our people and property from more frequent and severe climate disasters (extreme storms, floods, drought, wildfires, and ecological disruptions.) Having represented Cedar Rapids during an unprecedented flood in 2008 that caused billions of dollars in disaster damage, Hogg brings a “dose of reality” to the issue of climate change. The good news is there is growing momentum for climate action, which can create a safe, healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.
Senator Hogg is serving his second term in the Iowa Senate after two terms in the Iowa House. He is recognized as a leader in the Iowa Legislature on climate change, renewable energy, energy efficiency, disaster preparedness, watershed management, and natural resources. He formerly served as board president of Iowa Interfaith Power & Light.
