Show the Candidates the Many Faces of Climate Change
Target: U.S. Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: 1Sky
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.

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. The debate is over, now is the time to take action. Sincerely, Kathleen Brunner

Step on this beautiful world very gently. Live in simplicity, create minimal impact. For the world's good.

Global warming is a big issue, even though some scientists, have adopted the attitude of, it won't happen. I live in Nz, and over the past 6 1/2 years that I have lived in my part of my country, we have had a terrific lot of high seas, heatwaves, very high winds, and more climate abnormalities. I honestly think that it doesn't matter what we say, what will be will be! If our planet is warming because of our influence on it, then what ever those scientists say isn't going to make an ounce of difference anyway!

We all know that the sun is much stronger than it was just a decade ago, we all feel the heat on our skin as it burns us, there is a huge hole in the Ozone Layer, and the Polar Ice Caps are melting at a much higher rate than they did just a few years ago. We must do all we can to make Congress aware of this problem before it's too late. They have to breathe the same air as we do, when will they realize that!!
