Greenhouse Gases Endanger Our Health and Welfare!

Target: Stephen L. Johnson, Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Sponsored by: National Wildlife Federation

For years, the EPA has refused to crack down on global warming pollution. Due to a Supreme Court ruling the EPA is now asking for public comment on a simple question: Do greenhouse gases that cause global warming endanger public health and welfare?

NWF believes there is no greater threat to people and wildlife than global warming. Before the comment period ends on Nov. 28, let the EPA know you agree! Don't let corporate polluters have the only voice.

deadline: 11-28-2008

Dear Administrator Johnson,

I'm writing today to urge the EPA to take action immediately to acknowledge that greenhouse gases are a serious threat to public health and welfare!

US action to address global warming is seriously overdue. Too long have harmful emissions of greenhouse gases gone unregulated in this country.

I strongly urge EPA to determine that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare, and move forward swiftly to regulate this pollution that so gravely threatens future generations of people and wildlife.

Independent (of U.S. administration) science supports this acknowledgement and appropriate responses. Let's get on with it!

Lobbyists and despicable greed lords, such as Bill Gates and AIG exectives, etc.and BIG OIL executives, have made it clear, that even though they don't need any more money to live a high life for the rest of their lives, they prefer to be thieves and rob the public of their money and possible future to be even richer, even when they must lie with biased industry funded so-called "research" and many Americans will lose their houses, jobs, and retirement funds. The environmental results from global warming, as already seen around the world, are too terrible to contemplate Don't listen to these traitors of the American Dream and the American People

we all should stand up and reduce the production of greenhouse gasses... they cause acid rain and ozon layer depletion. restrections on the production of greenhouse gasses should be applied immediatly.

The US must take a leadership position in the war on global warming. The EPA must act.

We need to work to restrict greenhouse gas emissions and seriously address global warming, not only for the good public health and the environment, but also because, as one of the richest countries in the world, we have the resources to make a sizable impact on the well-being of our planet. Clearly, we have ignored that responsibility too much in the past, but it isn't too late for us to mend the damage we've done and promote environmentally sound measures concerning greenhouse gases.

Why doesn't someone from the EPA stand behind a tail pipe or sit on top of a refinery smoke stack and just breathe for about 60 seconds. Maybe that will be enough for them to realize that in the not so distant future that's what breathing will feel like all the time!!!
