This petition is now closed. We exceeded our goal of 50,000 messages to the 2008 presidential candidates urging them to take a stand on global warming! Want to know what the candidates are saying? The League of Conservation Voters is keeping a running record of statements candidates make on global warming out on the campaign trail - read it all on the The Heat Is On website.

Dear Candidate for U.S. President,

The debate is over. The National Academy of Sciences and thousands of scientists worldwide agree that the planet is warming and that human dependence on fossil fuels - such as coal and oil - is the primary cause. The problem is so urgent that the next 10 years will likely decide the outcome. There is still time to rise to the challenge, but America needs the leadership to do so.

Solving global warming will place the U.S. at the forefront of developing and deploying the clean energy technologies that will dominate the 21st century. When we solve global warming, we will have established a more secure, prosperous and vibrant America.

Nothing short of our children's future is at stake.

As you campaign for your party's presidential nomination, we ask that solving global warming be a central message and a top priority.

We signed the “Global Warming: Urge Presidential Hopefuls to Take a Stand!” petition!

I think since we are the wealthiest nation and can be on the forefront again in science and technology that this needs to be on the front burner(pun intended) Also, I would not like my children to be depressed for the rest of their lives that my generation did nothing to save the planet. All of our contributions show importance of Paris and Brittany and Lindsay, and I want my girls to see women leaders in science and research and solving these problems--not being viewed as these types of role models. We need bold smart leadership, and I think everyone needs to make this the number one issue. Because if there is no planet, what does it matter about any of the other issues
