Sign petition asking Congress to make Global Warming a top priority

[Guest guest]

The most respected scientific organizations have stated

unequivocally that global warming is happening, and people are

causing it by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. The

consequences of continued warming at current rates are likely to be

dire.

 

Many densely populated areas, such as low-lying coastal regions, are

highly vulnerable to climate shifts. A middle-of-the-range

projection is that the homes of 13 to 88 million people around the

world would be flooded by the sea each year in the 2080s.

 

Poorer countries and small island nations will have the hardest time

adapting. Scarcity of water and food could lead to major conflicts

with broad ripple effects throughout the globe.

 

Even if people find a way to adapt, the wildlife and plants on which

we depend may be unable to adapt to rapid climate change. While the

world itself will not end, the world as we know it may disappear.

 

It's time we make " Climate Change, Global Warming, and Saving the

Planet " this country's top priority! Ask the new Congress to act now

to protect our sacred earth. If we don't accomplish this, all other

problems and concerns won't matter.

 

It's not a just a political issue, it's a moral issue. Sign the

petition to Congress at:
