Bonamici speaks out on new climate report

Oceans are warming, glaciers are melting and the global sea level is rising, according to a special report on climate change the United Nations released Wednesday morning.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici introduced a resolution that highlights the warnings of the UN report on the ocean and the cryosphere. Her reaction, which she published in a blog post, pushed for ocean-centric solutions to the climate crisis and connects international, scientific findings to changes that have already been felt on Oregon's North Coast.

"The science is clear," the Oregon Democrat wrote. "We need to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to protect the health of our ocean and the stability of the cryosphere."
