Recently, world leaders announced some deeply disturbing news: they gave up on reaching a binding climate deal at the upcoming Copenhagen conference. [1]
A major impediment was the refusal of President Obama and Congress to enact tough cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
We've got to turn that around. Immediately.
Tell Obama and Congress to commit to a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases below 1990 levels by 2020.
Right now, the most ambitious target that Obama has endorsed is a 3.5% reduction in emissions by 2020. [2]
That's pathetic, compared to the 25-40% reduction that we need to have a 50:50 chance of avoiding disastrous runaway global heating, according to the International Panel on Climate Change. [3]
The United States ought to lead by example. We can do it with strong emission reductions.
Tell Obama and your Members of Congress to commit to tough emissions reductions today.

And if that does not work totally the globalization of poverty via crash all trade carbon crap will make America look like Bagdhad.
I don’t know an Amish family to live with not to mention the insanity of creating a global carbon trading Wall Street which only benefits a very few Bernie Madoff characters. Copenhagen means death to America most certainly.
