Protect American Wildlife from Global Warming
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
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.
The Canadian lynx isn't alone. Tufted puffins, leatherback turtles, sugar maples, polar bears, monarch butterflies and many other species are in danger. We need the Senate to act by passing a national cap on America's global warming pollution. Please take action today!

These species would soon die out if we sit idly by.We must act.We must seize the opportunity and save the lives of many animals.

This is a self-accelerating problem and if there is no intervention soon, the situation may become irretrievable. The loss of habitat, the loss of species immeasurably impoverishes our lives spiritually, physically, and economically. The repercussions of this kind of broad-scale destruction cannot be fully predicted, though those things we can predict are dire. Yes, change is ever with us. The problem today, is that we, humans, have accelerated that change beyond nature's ability to adapt. Please consider the treasures we have and what your grandchildren will miss if we lose them.

Protecting American wildlife from global warming by taking action and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is very important. Yes, it may start with affecting animals, but we will be affected next. So do you want to start taking action now, or later when it may be too late?

America must be a nation that leads the world by its example. Cutting back greenhouse gas emissions will preserve our country's natural beauty and make way for a burgeoning boom in economic and eco friendly development.
