GREENPEACE SAYS:
With only 2 days left, the crucial Copenhagen climate summit is failing.
World leaders have arrived and begun 60 hours of final negotiations. Each one will have to decide whether to step forward as heroes, or fail us all. But they will only act if we do.
Around the world a global movement has been building towards this moment. Now it’s time for one last, massive push – with a global public outcry for a real deal that will stop catastrophic climate change. In the next 48 hours we can build the largest petition in history. The names of petition signers are actually being read out inside the summit. Sign below, and tell everyone:
Petition to the 110 Presidents and Prime Ministers negotiating in Copenhagen:
We call on each one of you to make the concessions necessary to meet your historic responsibility in this crisis. Rich countries must offer fair funding, and all countries must set ambitious targets on emissions. Do not leave Copenhagen without a fair, ambitious and binding deal that keeps the world safe from catastrophic global warming of 2 degrees.
More than 13,000,000 signatures so far – let’s make it 15 million…….CLICK THIS LINK NOW TO SIGN!
Take Action! We can’t do this alone, we need you to demand that science and survival are put ahead of political limitations. Stand in solidarity with activists in Copenhagen and send your message to our leaders today.
Posted in One of the problems with climate change activisim is that the many groups lobbying for change are asking for different things.
So my question to you is: What would you ask for at Copenhagen 09? This article from The Guardian (UK) summarises what some of the diverse groups are demanding at the climate change talks. After you read it come back and leave a comment about what you’d demand of world leaders.
350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.
