- Chesapeake Climate Action Network We fight global warming. Get involved in our Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and National campaigns. In the last few weeks, new data has shown that the climate crisis has worsened. Global emissions of carbon dioxide rose at a record pace last year, and new measurements show that methane gas is now “leaking” from the Arctic Ocean. It’s a classic “feedback loop” that will soon accelerate the disruption to our climate unless we adopt global solutions soon. Sign up for one of our “bird-dogging packs” so you can tell leaders in person just how you feel about the importance of clean energy
