Join Kyra Sedgwick -- Urge Congress to Stop Global Warming
Sponsored by: Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund
"We can choose a better future -- based on clean energy and clean jobs. Tell Congress to act now on global warming -- before the climate crisis brings our planet even one degree closer to destroying our future." -- Kyra Sedgwick
Research indicates that a rise of just two degrees Centigrade in global temperatures would expose millions of people to drought, hunger and flooding.
As we hover a mere two degrees from this irreversible damage, Congress needs to pass legislation that:
* Sets enforceable deadlines to cut global warming pollution by 80% by 2050,
* Dramatically increases the production of more fuel-efficient vehicles and cleaner fuels, and
* Requires utilities to generate 25% of their electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal power.
To prevent the catastrophic outcomes of global warming, tell Congress to act now by passing tough global warming legislation.
We as a people and country need to take this problem seriously. And without the help of the government to create legislation, what does that say to the rest of the world about the United State???
It's only a few degrees and glaciers will melt and costal cities will flood. That's it.
Although some skeptics may not believe in global warming, I feel it is best to take action since it won't hurt to do so, but not taking action could be harmful to current and future generations as well.
We do not want most life forms to disappear. Humans can disappear too.
