send a message to environment ministers in G8 summit 2007, Germany to act on global warming and climate change issues
On Thursday March 15th, the environment ministers from the G8, the world's biggest contributors to climate change, will be meeting in Germany. The outcome of this meeting will play a critical role in determining the world's response to global warming-and the fate of the planet. The G8 is a summit of world leaders from the "Group of 8" largest economies. Together, these countries account for 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions-the gasses that cause climate change. The full G8 summit is coming in June, but the agenda and outcome of this type of high-profile event is usually set far in advance--at meetings like this one of the Environment Ministers.
AVAAZ.ORG has been invited to attend this meeting to present our climate change petition. Help seize this opportunity to shape the G8's agenda by signing the petition here. It's a rare opportunity to have a global impact. Add your voice to the petition now! more than 80,000 people from 131 countries have already demanded action. Our goal is to reach 100,000. Please sign the petition, post this link on your blog and spread the word around--we only have a few days to make this statement count.
If we add our voices together, now, 2007 can become the year we took the first step to save the world.
Watch the DVD of "An Inconvenient Truth" directed by Davis Guggenheim. He eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "...It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore. get "An Inconvenient Truth" here

How about the mess in Iraq, Lebanon and Australia testing weapons on the innocent.
We have to stop this multi-trillion dollar war machine and petro profiteers before our efforts can be easily stopped like an ant farm being stomped on by an elephant. Natural disasters will be much nicer then a nuclear fallout.

To prevent global warming, the nations with the largest emissions of gases that are causing climate change must take part & sign the resolution. I have my option and support this move - Cheers Hatz
