Join Deepak Chopra: Tell Presidential Candidates to Propose Real Global Warming Solutions!
It's about time American politicians stop paying lip service to global warming and start proposing real solutions!
Our 2008 presidential candidates will have to deal with the greatest environmental problem we have ever faced. As citizens of a country that is one of the world's biggest polluters, we must make sure that they don't just talk about it, but actually have a detailed plan for combating it.
An aggressive plan to combat global warming must include:

An aggressive plan to combat global warming must include:
- Imposing a cap on CO2 emissions across the country and sticking to it, without special rules for rich companies.
- Increasing fuel efficiency standards dramatically for commuter vehicles as well as commercial trucks.
- Cleaning up our current electric and other power plants.
- Investing in alternative, cleaner energies such as wind power, and providing incentives for companies who develop and use these technologies.

So, too, we keep in mind that, you've paid for the extinction the corporate structure is dictating take place by collaborating in their plans, with your tax dollars at minimum, and by thinking you're abdicating your responsibility when you continually abdicate your power to politicians, although you can't. It's not too late to take back the day, by turning 360 degrees around, back to the evolution, dispelling the convolutions devolutionary direction; and getting back to the future, we'll only have if you do! Defend yourself by defending them, one for all, all for one! Remember the lessons of WWII, if you're not taking bullets, you're making them, etc.; I'm bleeding every moment, are you? reality

We need action NOW - not by 2010 or 2015... this is THE issue, not just another plank in the platform! I would love to have actual, concrete options available so my own "footprint" is lessened. But as a poor mother of three, I feel my options are severly limited. Clean energy needs to be availible to everyone, immediately

Unless we want to create a world which is inhospitable to humans and many other forms of life, it is necessary that we take action now so that our great grandchildren may have a home in which they can still see elephants, polar bears, flowers, and even microbes that need to be seen through a microscope. The Earth will always be here, but if we continue the way we have been for the last 150 years, we may not.

A small town in Greenland has become a national tourist attraction because of the enourmous floating icebergs. How is this okay and how can anyone deny that we are in a dangerous state of global warming? Please help us save our planet - it's the only one we have to live on!!

I will select and vote for a candidate based on them having an established "green" policy to reduce pollutants into the environment.

As a scientist, I am already seeing the effects of climate change. We need to find solutions now, including the use of regulations for energy conservation and alternatives. We especially need to provide funding for public transportation such as trains to decrease our reliance on our individual cars.
