Dear NRDC BioGems Defender,Global warming is fast becoming the number one environmental problem of our time. Apart from its far-reaching impacts on people, global warming may prove disastrous to the wildlife of Greater Yellowstone, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other vulnerable BioGems that are already suffering the effects of a changing climate.
Today, we're asking you to take an important step in our campaign by joining the "Stop Global Warming Virtual March on Washington." This unprecedented Internet effort is led by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Senator John McCain, NRDC trustee Laurie David and other environmental leaders.
Please go to http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/campaigns/sgw/partner/nrdc/ to join this historic march, and invite your family and friends to do the same. Together, we will demand that Congress and the Bush administration take the necessary and long overdue steps to reverse potentially catastrophic changes in the Earth's climate.
The Virtual March on Washington will move across the United States via the Internet from one town to the next, educating people about the impacts global warming is already having on our environment, and highlighting personal stories along the way. Through an interactive map, you can track the progress of the march in real time as more and more people join.
The world's leading scientists now agree that global warming is real and is happening right now.
Yes! The same group who terrorized school districts everywhere with their Alar Scare...
According to their forecasts,
and they used horse instead of chicken entrails this time because this is important....
extreme changes in climate could produce a future in which erratic and chaotic weather, melting ice caps and rising sea levels usher in an era of drought, crop failure, famine, flood and mass extinctions.
So could the conversion of the Sun into a Red Giant Star....
The good news is, we have the technology to avert such a catastrophic future.
Just send us Money and we will fix all your problems....
All that's lacking is the political will in Washington.
That's why we're asking you to march with us -- and enlist others to join -- so that our growing numbers will help light a fire under Congress and the White House.
Please go to http://www.stopglobalwarming.org/campaigns/sgw/partner/nrdc/ and make your own commitment to stop global warming. Our grandchildren will thank us for taking this momentous step in the right direction.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
John H. Adams
