Chapter
Creates Global Warming Petition There's no need to tell Sierra Club members about the threat of global warming but what to do about it is a challenge. The Atlantic Chapter Global Warming Committee has created a downloadable petition for distribution for all to sign. We hope it will be widely distributed and returned in time to influence both the planned 350.org, Oct. 24th National Rally Day and it will help move the Administration to take a strong position at the upcoming December International Global Warming Summit in Copenhagen. Stop Climate Change |Please return completed petition to: Sierra Club, Atlantic Chapter Global Warming Committee Post Office Box 886 Syosset, NY 11791
"We demand that the United States demonstrate leadership and responsibility by facilitating and negotiating a science-based and internationally enforceable greenhouse gas emissions treaty at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, December 7-18 2009. Atmospheric carbon dioxide must be reduced from 389 parts per million to below 350 in order to prevent a catastrophic social, economic and environmental crisis."
