Congress must acknowledge truth of climate change

SHARE Congress must acknowledge truth of climate change

More than 250 young adults from across the country were just in Washington to call for bipartisan action on climate change. Congress has a moral obligation to join so many others in protecting our earth for present and future generations. Leaders in the military, corporate, and agricultural sectors also believe we must address climate change. Let’s not allow the partisan politics of today to damage, beyond repair, the lives of my future children and our community. Congress must acknowledge the science and realities of climate change in order to begin crafting bipartisan national solutions.

Like the new Sun-Times

I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying your new Chicago Sun-Times. What a great job all of you have done to make my favorite newspaper even better! The expanded coverage from USA Today gives me a really good snapshot of business and more depth on national and international activities. Most of all, I’ve found the additional local news coverage very informative. Everyone who was a part of the creative team in the update should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for proving again why the Chicago Sun-Times is the only newspaper I have delivered daily to my home!
