Tell-A-Friend: Tell Congress to Pass Tough Global Warming Legislation!

Pass On This Message to Your Friends and Ask Them to Urge Congress to Pass Tough Global Warming Legislation!

Scientists are telling us that a rise of more than two degrees Fahrenheit threatens to trigger the irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet, a 20-foot rise in sea levels, and the extinction of innumerable species. Congress must act this year to pass legislation that will cut our nation’s global warming pollution 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. You can help mobilize millions of Americans in support of tough global warming legislation by forwarding the message to six of your friends, family members or colleagues.

The message below, urging concerned Americans to tell Congress to pass tough global warming legislation, was sent to you from

Dear Friend,

Scientists are telling us loud and clear that if we don't act now to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the window of opportunity will soon shut forever, and the outcome will be devastating.

Allowing temperatures to rise more than another 2 degrees Fahrenheit could mean the irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet, a 20-foot rise in sea levels, and the extinction of innumerable species, including the polar bear.

It's way too late for talk and half measures. We know what has to be done. Now we've got to get the new Congress to do it.

Send a Petition telling your Senators and Representative to pass tough global warming legislation now:

That legislation must cut our nation?s global warming pollution 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 if we are to have a real chance of stabilizing the world's climate. That is the reality according to science.

And while the White House may still be in denial about that science, corporate America is not. More than 20 of the most influential companies in the world have joined with our partner organization, NRDC, and other leading environmental groups to call on Congress for an immediate and mandatory approach to cutting global warming pollution!

We are witnessing history in the making. The President has said the words. Corporate America sees the writing on the wall. And Congressional leaders have vowed to tackle the problem.

But it's going to take overwhelming public support to pass the kind of bold legislation that our planet so desperately needs.
 
Make your voice heard. Tell your Senators and Representative to cut global warming pollution 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050:

Let's make 2007 the year America stops talking and starts taking action.

Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
