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:

- 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.

I want answers. I want solutions. I want these selfish short sighted people to see what they are doing to our children. I want respect for the others we share this beautiful planet with. I want peace.....for all on this planet.

This is not our world, it is their world. Those who are our sons and daughters. Our obligation is to give them a place to live, love and flourish in. Not a world of great struggles and lack. This is what global warming will present, an unlivable and disastrous world. Let's all work together to prevent that. Thank you. |

There is so much technology already available to utilize clean energy that there is NO reason not to being using it right now - and so very many reasons to do so.

We must stop CO2 emissions. Coal oil, palm oil and ethanol do not do that. Gas burn-off from oil platforms concentrate additional heat, CO2 and soot at the northern ice cap and Gulf of Mexico before it disapates in the upper atmosphere.

I want to hear that people are investing in renewable sustainable energy and polluting the planet is no longer an option, for any one individual or corporation. I want to know that we are, as one of the wealthiest countries in the world, taking responsibility for using up so many resources and we aim to do what is write for this planet as well as all the life on it.

I'm 76 years old and have no children, but am really concerned about the future of our planet and the human race. Are you concerned enough to do something for your children and grandchildren?

Dear presidential candidate, I stand with Deepak Chopra in urging you to make global warming a priority for your campaign. I want to know that you have a detailed and aggressive plan to combat global warming, and will follow through with this plan. This plan must include, among other things: 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. As citizens of a country that is one of the world's biggest polluters, we must step up now. If we don't, the consequences will be devastating. Sincerely, Helen Osborn 11 Rose Street Wynyard Tasmania Australia PS If the President of the United States of America sneezes, it affects us here in Australia one way or another.

As a grandparent, I yearn for a healthier planet for my beautiful 5-year-old and 10-month old -- and for their grandchildren. If we don't change our wasteful living, consumerism, and sense of entitlement, it will be too late.

Alternative fuels!!! We have the capabilities, let's find the incentives to use them. Let's throw big oil the crazies, better yet, let's throw them to the wolves and polar bears that they want to make extinct.

For those who reference "God" in their justification for anything from infringing on a woman's right to control her own body to the atrocity of an unjust war, it behooves you to remember "God" gave humankind dominion over the Earth with the concomitant responsibility to CARE FOR IT!

Keep America truly safe, and the world livable, through energy independence based upon sustainable/renewable, alternative (non-fossil fuel) sources....that way we can have security and keep our health too, and won't have to start unnecessary wars to feed our addiction to oil!

I want you to STOP subsidizing oil companies and start subsidizing real solutions to our energy problems such as wind power, hydrogen fuel cells, solar cells and other renewable resources. Gas taxes only attack the poor middle-class and lower income citizens while putting profits in the pockets of the world's worst polluters.
