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!

We are pushing our earth to the limits. Destroying wetland, forests, habitats and affectfing the extinction of species will ultimately impact all of us. The earth is an ecosystem ... a system which works to keep our air and waters clean and keeps life in balance. Please do what we elected you to do. Support the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act (S.2204). We have to adapt to partnering with our planet - not bowing to big business. It may not be the easy way, we may need to learn and relearn some ways of living ... but we can do it. Support this process.

Dear Senator, I urge you to support The Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act, S.2204. Global warming is a leading cause of species extinction: hundreds of plants and animals, from grizzly bears to coral reefs, are already declining due to global warming, and the United Nation's International Panel on Climate Change report estimates that between 20 and 30 percent of animal and plant species face a risk of extinction if global warming continues unabated. Protecting wildlife habitat helps combat global warming. By keeping our wetlands and forests intact, we help clean carbon pollution from the air and stop the worst impacts of global warming. Sincerely, Laura Thomsen

Escapism, egocentricity and denial will have consequences as soon as within your own lifetime, in case you don't care about your children's and grandchildren's futures.
