Ask Senate to Deliver an Effective Climate Bill!

Tell Your Senator: Write a Climate Bill that Avoids Catastrophe

We need your help to ensure that the upcoming Senate climate change bill protects our environment, including our rivers and forests.

In late June, the House passed a climate bill that was so full of loopholes, it would not require the United States to reduce its emissions for over a decade. Now it's the Senate's turn to craft its version of the bill. It is essential that the Senate legislation be strong enough to meet the goals set by scientific facts to avoid climate catastrophe.

We don't have that much time before the international climate negotiations this December in Copenhagen, where a strong global deal is needed to avert climate catastrophe. Let’s make sure that the US shows the rest of the world that it is willing to do its part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Write your senator today, and say that you want to see an effective climate change bill in the Senate:

STOP OFFSETS: International offsets delay domestic reductions by allowing the purchase of dubious foreign reductions from projects like dirty hydropower instead of making real reductions at home.

REDUCE FREE ALLOWANCES: Giveaways of pollution allowances steal the incentive for carbon-polluting industry to reduce carbon emissions at the expense of the consumer and environment.

START NOW: The House-passed climate bill would allow polluters to delay reducing their carbon emissions for ten years or more. That is too little too late.
