Scientists warned that extreme weather would be a sign of climate change. And sure enough, one year after Katrina, the most disastrous hurricane in U.S. history, we're experiencing record high temperatures across the country.
This summer's triple digit heat wave has killed 19 people in Texas, 31 in New York, and 20 in Oklahoma.
It's clear that global warming has arrived and brought with it a glaring responsibility for leaders to act.
Sign the petition to demand global warming leadership now! http://go.care2.com/e/mSv/Pg/E.Jg
The U.S. contributes almost one quarter of the global total of carbon dioxide emissions, which are the main cause of global warming. This makes us the world's worst offender.
To ensure everyone's future on this planet, our country must lead the way on clean energy. The League of Conservation Voters has launched a campaign -- The Heat is On: Demand Global Warming Leadership Now! -- calling on Congress, the President, and both political parties to begin tackling global warming and implementing solutions to our world's energy needs THIS election season. Join them in their call to action by signing the petition now.
Practical solutions for combating global warming already exist, including:
- New energy technologies that create jobs and build our economy
- More fuel-efficient vehicles
- Cleaner power production
- Industry caps on global warming pollution and incentives to meet them
Tell our nation's present and future leaders that you want their commitment to a better energy future, starting now! Go to: http://go.care2.com/e/mSv/Pg/E.Jg
