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.

I am 65 so it won't effect me as much as my cousins daughter who has two kids under 2. It would be nice if they had a world to grow up in.

There is NO time to waste, as has been done for the past 8 years. Act now, or there will be nothing left to act for. The evidence is everywhere if you believe your eyes and not what someone wants you to believe. Let's not wait until the last minute as though the cavalry will come charging in to save us before we are wiped out.

The central east coast lies in direct path of many hurricanes from the Gulf Stream. The prediction is for more and stronger hurricanes every year, flooding coastal cities and destroying house and business structures. There is every reason to start changing things, and no reason to hesitate.
