Action Item

When it comes to fighting global warming, the U.S. House of Representatives is really dragging its feet.

As Congress sets its 2008 agenda, one of the biggest problems facing our planet is in danger of being swept under the carpet... again. But you can have an impact right now.

Urge your Representative today to make global warming a priority this year!


As the global warming crisis continues to worsen, we cannot sit back and wait for our leaders to take aggressive action. NOW is the time for real and immediate solutions from Congress – but your Representatives need to hear from you!

The evidence is overwhelming. Scientists have predicted that if our leaders do nothing to stop global warming then:

Hurricanes, tornados, and other extreme weather events will continue to increase.
Our coastal states and cities will be threatened by rising sea levels.
Water will be harder to find and droughts will increase making massive crop yields substantially less likely.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has shown great leadership and has made reducing global warming pollution a top priority. But it's time for her colleagues to follow her leadership – and take action to address the climate crisis.

Tell the House to stop ignoring the most threatening issue facing our country... and the world.


By sending a letter to your Representative, you can insist that they make a commitment to tackle the issue of global warming this year.

The earth can't wait – we must make global warming a priority in 2008!
