Operation Climate Vote!

The Senate is set to vote on landmark global warming legislation in early June. We need your help to urge your Senators to seize this historic opportunity to cap and reduce America's global warming pollution.

Email your Senators our list of the top 5 reasons why they must act now.

Here's our list:

1. Every year we wait equals extra effort. If we delay this bill by just two years, we will have to make twice the annual cuts in carbon emissions to hit the same cumulative reductions by 2020.

2. The science is unforgiving. As the Earth warms, we approach a "tipping point," after which large destructive climate changes become inevitable.

3. The political opportunity is ripe. 78% of Americans want Congress to act on global warming. We need to take advantage of the tremendous momentum that exists today.

4. Someone is going to win the global race to reinvent energy. It should be us. Renewable energy promises to become one of the world's most profitable industries. But advances in renewable energy technologies will not be fully realized without a national cap on global warming pollution. The sooner we act, the sooner these new industries will start to flourish.

5. What legacy will the 110th Congress leave? When future generations look back at this moment, they will either praise the Senate for starting us down the path to solving the global warming crisis, or blame the Senate for squandering this opportunity.


You and I - and everyone we know - need to make sure that the Senate gets the message now.

With your support, we're keeping up constant pressure to make sure the Senate seizes this historic opportunity. As the Climate Security Act makes its way to the Senate floor for a vote next month, we must hammer these urgent points home.

Please email your Senators our top 5 list now.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,

The Global Warming Team at Environmental Defense Action Fund
