Save Wildlife from Global Warming: Support the Climate Security Act

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: National Wildlife Federation

It’s so easy a raccoon can do it... Ranger Rick is reaching out to you in hope you will urge your senators to support strong global warming legislation.

But we must act now. Scientists say that in the lifetime of a child born today, 20 to 30 percent of all species could be put on a path toward extinction if global warming continues unchecked.

Early this June, a historic bipartisan bill is expected to come to a vote in the U.S. Senate. The Climate Security Act would be the biggest step ever taken to reduce global warming pollution and will meet the 2 percent annual targets through a cap and trade program.

The Act also invests dedicated resources in restoring and protecting natural resources threatened by global warming, supports investments in alternative energy and provides assistance to low-income Americans to make the transition to a clean energy future.

deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 8,000

Dear [Decision Maker],

I am writing to urge you to vote YES for the Climate Security Act (S. 3036), introduced by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Sen. John Warner (R-Va.).

We need to act now to reduce the impacts of global warming pollution. In the lifetime of a child born today, temperatures could easily rise 2 to 4 degrees F, moving 20-30 percent of wild plants and animals worldwide toward extinction. It is already contributing to sea level rise, intensified storms and droughts, increased catastrophic fires, spreading pests and invasive species and a host of other ecosystem disruptions. The longer we wait the greater and more costly the impacts will be.

We have a moral responsibility to ensure the next generation is not burdened by a lower quality of life, destruction of important natural resources and a weaker economy.

We have this small window of opportunity in which we can begin to act to undo some of the grave damage we have inflicted on our environment. Let us make the most of it.

We can"t wait because the world is ending, and NO NUCLEAR! Remember Chernoble, and we have no solution to the waste. Solar, wind, geothermal and whatever will sustain and preseve cleanly and healthily!

This needs to be passed ! It appears to be a choice between the lives of our children and grandchildren or big business profits. We think a healthy world in our future is more important
