Protect American Wildlife from Global Warming

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Global warming is about more than hurricanes, droughts and other instances of extreme weather.

Biologists around the planet are sounding the alarm -- stories about the plight of wildlife confronting the threat of global warming. And this is true for America as well where global warming is already having an impact in nearly every ecological zone.

For example, the stealthy, splendid Canada lynx is America's second largest wild cat. Threatened not only because of habitat loss and overtrapping, climate change has raised new concerns. With long legs and big paws, the lynx is an efficient snow hunter, and the warmer winters brought on by global warming threaten to disrupt its ability to hunt.

Global warming is already altering America's natural heritage and threatening wildlife, from sea birds to sea turtles to butterflies to sugar maples. We need the Senate to act by passing a national cap on America's global warming pollution. Please take action today!

Climate change is already altering America's rich natural heritage and threatening countless species, including sea birds, butterflies, sea turtles, wild cats, fish, and scores of trees across the American landscape.

If we don't act now to dramatically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, thousands of species across America are doomed.

[Your comments]

I urge you to support an economy-wide cap on America's global warming pollution.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We took action on “Protect American Wildlife from Global Warming”!

Every day species entire species of plants and (or) animals are entering extinction. Extinction is forever-- we can't deal with the loss.

It seems obvious that protecting wildlife from global warming is important since all living creatures will end up being negatively affected if not obliterated if we do not find safer and scientific and techno-logically proven alternatives for resource and energy alternatives.

If we don't protect them, who will? Once they are gone, there is no going back, we certainly don't want to be in that situation.

These animals are being forced to deal with climate changes mostly related to human interferance with our environments. It is not their choice to die out. We must assist them in any way possible!

Wake up Congress! When it's too late, it's too late. Generations to come will be thankful for preservation. They will not be thankful for a world stripped of its resources and wildlife. -Would you want that world?
