Like me, you've probably been hearing a lot about global warming lately. From journalists and celebrities to pundits and politicians it's an issue that's finally gaining national recognition. And not a moment too soon! We're heating up our atmosphere more every day, with devastating human and environmental consequences. With continued warming, scientists say we can expect more extreme heat and drought, rising sea levels, and higher-intensity tropical storms. At risk are our coastal property and resources, the livability of our cities in summer, and the productivity of our farms, forests, and fisheries. Will you join me in taking action to fight global warming? Click below to take action now! http://ga3.org/campaign/global_warming Right now, Congress has a chance to do more than just talk about this issue. Crucial legislation that would help slow global warming is currently before both the House and the Senate. Click below to urge your representatives in Congress to protect our planet for future generations by co-sponsoring these critical science-based global warming bills. http://ga3.org/campaign/global_warming Average global temperatures have already increased by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since the 1800's. That may not sound like a lot but scientists warn that if temperatures rise another 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit the results would be truly catastrophic. In June, Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) introduced a bill in the House that would gradually reduce global warming emissions by 80%, the amount needed to give us a good chance of staying below the threshold set by scientists. In July, Senators Jim Jeffords (I-VT) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced a similar bill in the Senate. The passage of these bills is essential to protect our children from the worst effects of global warming. Please don't delay! Urge your representatives in Congress to help stop global warming-click below to contact them now. http://ga3.org/campaign/global_warming To help achieve these reductions, both bills call for a greater reliance on clean, renewable energy sources and improved energy efficiency-solutions that will have far-reaching positive changes, such as reducing air pollution, creating new jobs, and reducing our dependence on oil.
