The Pace of Climate Change
--"In November, Science published a paper showing atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane are higher now than at any time in the past 650,000 years." BBC News, Climate Warmest for Millenium--"Emissions that caused a global warming episode 55 million years ago were released over 10,000 years. Burning fossil fuels is likely to release the same amount over the next three centuries, the scientists claim." BBC News, Earth 'on Fast Track' to Global Warming
--"Greenland's glaciers are melting into the sea twice as fast as previously believed, the result of a warming trend that renders obsolete predictions of how quickly Earth's oceans will rise over the next century." Washington Post, Glacier Melt Could Signal Faster Rise in Ocean Levels

Its easy! - No cost, No hassles. There is every reason in the world to become a virtual marcher. Why? Because it affects our public health, our national security, our economy, our planet's future.
Our mission is to use the strength of our numbers to urge 1) Our government to join the rest of the world in addressing global warming, and 2) American business to start a new industrial revolution on clean energy products that reduce our dependence on oil and other global warming pollution.
