There has also been an increase in natural disasters. We can all make a difference, but action needs to be taken now before it is too late. Awareness and education is the first step. Watch An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. Everyone on the planet needs to see it.

19,509 9:00 pm PST, Feb 5 Alyssa Lee I've recently watched An Inconvenient Truth and it's only reinforced all of the terrifying realities of global warming. I would strongly urge anyone, no matter your status, age, or political orientation, to take 2 hours of their time in order to pay attention to something other than, if not more important that, terrorists and Iraq. What seemed so remote from our daily lives is coming fast enough to affect our children now that we have ignored it for so long. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE!

19,507 11:56 am PST, Jan 31 Amber Wagner It has been important to take action for a long time. Up until recently people have been ignoring the issue because everyone assumes its mother natures job to take care of the issue. Its ashame we have to over populate the planet and destroy our enviornment for people to recognize there is a problem.

Emergency Campaign on Global Warming

WHEREAS... Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental problems of our time; and...

WHEREAS... Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by fossil fuel consumption, deforestation and other human activities can trap heat in our atmosphere for 100 years or longer - with devastating environmental consequences; and...

WHEREAS... Current U.S. policy on climate change is one of indifference, out of step with world opinion, at a time when our damaging greenhouse gas emissions are continuing to increase...

THEREFORE... I urge you to co-sponsor and support, in every way you can, Senator John McCain and Senator Joe Lieberman's bipartisan Climate Stewardship Act, a bill to create national caps on greenhouse gas emissions.

Please respond letting me know whether you will or will not support the Climate Stewardship Act. Thank you.
