URGENT: The U.S. House Must Act on Global Warming This Year!
As Congress prepares to set their 2008 agenda, now is the time to contact your Representative to make sure that solving global warming is a top priority this year.
The U.S. House needs to hear from as many constituents as possible so that they get the message: Global warming is the greatest environmental crisis that we face, and we need solutions now!

Subject: Make global warming a priority
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
As Congress prepares to set the policy agenda for 2008, I strongly urge you to make taking action to reduce global warming pollution a top priority.
The National Academy of Sciences and thousands of scientists worldwide agree that the planet is warming and that human dependence on dirty fossil fuels - such as coal and oil - is the primary cause. The problem is so urgent that the next 10 years will likely decide the outcome.
To reverse the dangerous effects of global warming, it is critical that we:
- Gradually reduce U.S. emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050;
- Allow for a "cap and trade" program to help businesses meet pollution reduction goals without suffering economic losses; and
- Promote a greater reliance on clean, renewable energy sources.
Solving global warming will place the U.S. at the forefront of developing and deploying the clean energy technologies that will dominate the 21st century. When we solve global warming, we will have established a more secure, prosperous, and vibrant America.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
|
