Our Wildlife Depends on a Strong Climate Bill

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. This historic legislation takes the first vital steps to address climate change and help our vanishing polar bears and other species whose existence in the wild is threatened by climate change.

But now the debate moves to the Senate, and the fight is far from finished. While the bill provides a promising first step, we need the Senate to pass and strengthen comprehensive legislation that will safeguard America's ecosystems, wildlife and natural resources.

We can't win for our polar bears and other wildlife without your help. Please send a message today urging your Senators to support strong legislation to fight global warming and help wildlife survive.

Dear Senator [Last Name],

As you know, the House passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454). This bill provides a promising first step towards reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change while working to safeguard natural resources and wildlife threatened by the changes already set in motion. But more needs to be done.

[Your personal comments will be added here.]

As the Senate begins working on this critical issue, your leadership is needed to help increase the funding necessary to safeguard America's ecosystems, wildlife and natural resources, and to enact the strongest climate and energy bill possible as soon as possible.

The White House recently released a report entitled "Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States" which sends a clear message of just how much work needs to be done. The report details the many ways global warming is changing, shrinking, and destroying habitat, forcing wildlife to migrate or adapt, or threatening their very existence.

We need to get this done in a robust, effective and efficient way and we must employ ALL deliberate speed. Please, this is incredibly important and we're depending on our leadership to stop caving in to big oil/big coal and start working for the American people for a change.

All living creatures are inter-connected making our ecosystems inter-related. Power put in motion that could irrevocably alter a species or ecosystem will affect us. It goes back to that inter-related clause. Every species on some level depends on another.

Florida's interests in climate change policy are unique and substantial. I urge you to work with your colleagues to ensure the Senate passes comprehensive climate and energy legislation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dedicates 5% of the total allowance value for natural resources adaptation in order to safeguard fish and wildlife, and the natural resources on which all Floridians rely.
