Now that the US has turned the corner on C02 emissions, let's get down to work. We need, first, to pay attention to the stark realities of what's become of Mother Earth--and what will certainly become of her, and sooner than you think, if we don't act.
One place to start: Congress, which must pass a forceful bill ASAP. MCM <http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFLpA/zj3c/Nw2X> Hi Mark, Representatives Henry Waxman and Ed Markey recently began one of the most important legislative fights of our lives, a comprehensive bill that finally addresses the dangers of climate change. <http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFLpA/zj3c/Nw2X>Help us defend the bill from Big Oil and others intent on seeing it fail. » Previous attempts at a meaningful climate bill failed because of the former Administration and a Congress that couldn't get effective legislation past entrenched Big Oil interests. But we can't take for granted that it will be easier now that those interests are no longer in the majority. With their deep pockets, opponents of the bill could easily outspend its supporters, by as much as 20 to 1. That's why your help is so necessary. With your support and the critical leadership of President Obama and several key Congressional champions, we can overcome the odds and pass a strong bill this year. <http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFLpA/zj3c/Nw2X>Please act today and help pass a strong global warming bill. » Take action link: <http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFLpA/zj3c/Nw2X>http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFLpA/zj3c/Nw2X Thanks for taking action!
