Take Action: Tell Congress to Pass Tough Global Warming Legislation!

Tell Congress to Pass Tough Global Warming Legislation!

President Bush has stalled long enough on global warming while the Earth burns. 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.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

The world's leading scientists are now agreed that --

--Global warming is a clear threat to the entire planet, including current and future generations of humankind,

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

--Our only chance to avert such catastrophic outcomes is to act now to reduce global warming pollution.

--Stabilizing the world's climate demands that current levels of U.S. global warming pollution be cut 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050,

I therefore call on you to pass urgently needed legislation that will --

1. CUT GLOBAL WARMING POLLUTION 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 - with enforceable deadlines.

2. MOVE AMERICA BEYOND OIL by promoting the widespread adoption of fuel-efficient vehicles, clean fuels and public transit that turn down the heat on global warming.

3. RENEW OUR ENERGY FUTURE by rewarding energy efficiency and requiring utilities to generate 25 percent of their electricity from zero-pollution, renewable sources like wind, solar and geothermal power.

It?s too late for half measures. Please take these bold steps to stop global warming while there's still time!

Sincerely,
[Your name]
