Support the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Sierra Club
Sponsored by: Sierra Club
It's hard to believe that animals that have adapted to living in frigid arctic temperatures would be helpless at the hands of something as common as the everyday pollution that comes out of cars and power plants. But the global warming pollutants generated by the burning of fossil fuels have driven arctic wildlife to the edge of extinction.
The Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act directs the federal government, in consultation with states and other organizations, to anticipate and prepare for the drastic effects that global warming is likely to have on animals, plants and their habitats.
The bill dedicates the country's best scientific minds to identifying species and habitats likely to be harmed by global warming, and calls for a coordinated national strategy to address those threats. This bill complements efforts now underway in Congress to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is essential to combating and ultimately halting global warming and the threat it poses to wildlife.
Sign the petition today to ask your Senator to support the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act!

If we can't turn this worldwide habitat destruction around we won't survive ourselves as a species. We have no right to destroy this beautiful world and the life in it as well.

The science is clear - this is the greatest challenge of our generation, and we MUST work together to solve it, or what's left of the Earth to leave to future generations, won't be worth having!
