Show the Candidates the Many Faces of Climate Change

Target: U.S. Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: 1Sky

The debate is over -- the National Academy of Sciences and thousands of scientists agree that the planet is warming. Now it's time to make the effects of global warming real for the presidential candidates.

Is global warming putting you and your community at risk for floods or hurricanes? Is it making water more scarce? Sign the petition, and let the presidential candidates know!

After a decade of stalling, we need real leadership on climate change:

  • Job creation in a clean energy economy.
  • A moratorium on building new coal-fired power plants.
  • The reduction of emissions levels in scale with what the science demands.

Tell the candidates what global warming means to your community and tell them to commit to be climate leaders in 2008 and beyond.

deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 30,000

Dear [Decision Maker]

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. If we do not act quickly and boldly, we will face irreversible and potentially devastating climate change impacts. There is still time to rise to the challenge, but America needs strong leadership to do so.

We need to:

* Create 5 million green jobs, conserving 20% of our energy by 2015.
* Freeze climate pollution levels now and cut at least 80% by 2050 and 25% by 2020.
* No new coal plants that emit global warming pollution. Invest in renewable energy.

When you react to GLOBAL WARMING and wake up to the fact that it's REAL, you will be in too deep. When you see yourself in a hole that you dug, it's too late! That will be the issue if you don't act NOW! Please.

I do my bit as much as I can to be "green", but we ALL need to do our bit. Doing something positive NOW will impact positively on our future generations to come. PLEASE help leave a good world for them.

Global warming isn't fiction, and whether or not it's caused by the mankind is secondary. We all have the ability to do something, so we should act before it's too late. All we can do at this point is to try slow it down and reduce the effects of our ignorance so far.

Living so far away, my country still faces global warming, especially since we are situated at the equator. This is a GLOBAL CRISIS and EVERYONE should help tackle it, otherwise we die. As simple as that.
