Help Pass a Climate Bill in 2008!

The Senate is set to vote on the Climate Security Act in early June.

It is crucial that the bill gets passed this year. Each year we wait means extra effort in reducing emissions to avoid catastrophic global warming.

Take action today and tell your Senators to vote for the Climate Security Act.

We have no time to lose. Help keep up the pressure so the Senate doesn't miss this historic opportunity!

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

The Senate is scheduled to debate and vote on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act the first week of June. I urge you to seize this historic opportunity and pass this bill.
 
Here are five compelling reasons to act now:

1. Every year we wait equals extra effort. If we delay this bill by just two years, we will have to make twice the annual cuts in carbon emissions to hit the same cumulative reductions by 2020.

2. The science is unforgiving. As the Earth warms, we approach a "tipping point," after which large destructive climate changes become inevitable.

3. The political opportunity is ripe. 78% of Americans want Congress to act on global warming. We need to take advantage of the tremendous momentum that exists today.

4. Someone is going to win the global race to reinvent energy. It should be us. Renewable energy promises to become one of the world's most profitable industries. But advances in renewable energy technologies will not be fully realized without a national cap on global warming pollution. The sooner we act, the sooner these new industries will start to flourish.

5. What legacy will the 110th Congress leave? When future generations look back at this moment, they will either praise the Senate for starting us down the path to solving the global warming crisis, or blame the Senate for squandering this opportunity.

Please vote for the Lieberman-Warner Climate 
Security Act when it comes to a vote in June.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
