Global warming is one of the most serious threats to our environment, our health and our economy. Leading scientists now warn that we must stabilize emissions within 10 years if we are to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius and avoid the most dangerous impacts of global warming.

Please TAKE ACTION by telling your elected representatives that you are concerned about this issue and that it is time for them to act to Stop Global Warming.

Sample Letter for Campaign

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

I am concerned about the effects of global warming on our environment, our health and our economy. The most recent scientific studies prove that global warming is here now and is already causing environmental changes that will have significant economic and social impacts. The good news is that if we act now, and act decisively, we can stop the worst effects of global warming.

I therefore ask you to advance or support policies that, at a minimum, meet the following principles:

1. Guarantee global warming pollution reductions, with enforceable deadlines. Scientists say that we must begin to significantly reduce our emissions from today's levels in the next 10 years and cut them by 60-80% by 2050 if we are to avert the worst consequences of global warming.

2. Promote clean and efficient sources of energy. We can start using a number of low- and zero-pollution options immediately, including energy efficiency, renewable energy and bio-fuels.

3. Immediate action is required. If we wait, it will be too late. Leading scientists now warn that we must stabilize emissions within 10 years if we are to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius and avoid the most dangerous impacts of global warming.

Sincerely,
