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!

Al Gore showed in his film a simple graphic of bars of gold weighed against the whole damned planet. It is simple yet I don't think it oversimplifies the rather obvious choice that people, wherever they are positioned on the rungs of wealth or power, MUST FACE with some intelligence and determination. And those Republicans who argued to invade Iraq along lines of "What if Saddam has the WMDs--can we afford to take the risk of his NOT having them?" might well apply such logic to whatever skepticism they truly may still have about the reports on global warming.
