Show the Candidates the Many Faces of Climate Change

Target: U.S. Presidential Candidates
Sponsored by: 1Sky

The debate is over -- the National Academy of Sciences and thousands of scientists agree that the planet is warming. Now it's time to make the effects of global warming real for the presidential candidates.

Is global warming putting you and your community at risk for floods or hurricanes? Is it making water more scarce? Sign the petition, and let the presidential candidates know!

After a decade of stalling, we need real leadership on climate change:

Job creation in a clean energy economy.
A moratorium on building new coal-fired power plants.
The reduction of emissions levels in scale with what the science demands.

Tell the candidates what global warming means to your community and tell them to commit to be climate leaders in 2008 and beyond.

Dear [Decision Maker]

The debate is over. The National Academy of Sciences and thousands of scientists worldwide agree that the planet is warming and that human dependence on fossil fuels such as coal and oil is the primary cause. If we do not act quickly and boldly, we will face irreversible and potentially devastating climate change impacts. There is still time to rise to the challenge, but America needs strong leadership to do so.

We need to:

* Create 5 million green jobs, conserving 20% of our energy by 2015.
* Freeze climate pollution levels now and cut at least 80% by 2050 and 25% by 2020.
* No new coal plants that emit global warming pollution. Invest in renewable energy.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

Invest in renewable energy. view more Solving climate change will place the U.S. at the forefront of developing and deploying the clean energy technologies that will dominate the 21st century. When we seriously address climate change and cut carbon emissions in line with the current science, we will have created millions of new green-collar jobs, prevented the construction of new dirty coal-fired power plants, and established a more secure, prosperous and vibrant America. Nothing short of our future is at stake. [Your Comment] As you campaign for your party's Presidential nomination, we ask that you make solving global warming a central message and a top priority. Please adopt the 1Sky policy platform today: 5 million green jobs, 80% carbon cuts, and no new coal plants. Sincerely, Sharon Ecker

just recently our area was hit hard by hurricane rita, areas that were safe in the past were under 8 to 10 feet of water, hundreds of people lost their homes. Things have to change now before it is too late!
