Global warming is the single greatest threat to wildlife, not to mention our children's future. At last, the Environmental Protection Agency is taking steps to formally declare that greenhouse gas emissions are a threat to our public health and welfare.

Ask the EPA to Acknowledge the Truth

Take Action! Global warming is the single greatest threat to wildlife, not to mention our children's future. At long last, the Environmental Protection Agency is taking steps to formally declare that greenhouse gas emissions are a threat to our public health and welfare.

And this is your chance to tell them emphatically, YES they are.

Below is a message that you can send to the EPA describing the negative effects that global warming has on people and our natural world.

As a wildlife enthusiast, you see the effects that global warming has on our natural world firsthand. Please take a moment to add your own story!

Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171

Dear [Decision Maker],

As a wildlife enthusiast who is concerned about the future of my community and the natural world, I strongly support your declaration that global warming pollution is a serious threat to public health and welfare.

Global warming threatens 1/3 of wildlife species with extinction and puts many communities in the U.S. at risk for disastrous flood and weather patterns.

I'm worried about the chilling consequences if we do not act now to cap the carbon emissions that cause global warming. That's why I urge you to move forward with this declaration and the regulations necessary to move us toward a clean energy future.

Please do not wait to acknowledge the truth. Global warming endangers our collective well-being and we must act now to stop it.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

The truth is the warming stopped 10 years ago and all the petition signing in the world can't change that fact. Why support a destructive hoax?

Signed petition and pledge. Thanks, Tom, for all you do. It is "Climate Change", not "Global Warming", so say the scientists. That causes much confusion to call it what it isn't, instead of what it is, Judy.

I am with Judy. If there really was a problem we would have done something about it years ago. Money and technology would not even be a question. This is a total hoax while the gov rapes our lands and wildlife..
