Take Action on Global Warming

The first ever comprehensive energy and climate bill to be considered by the House of Representatives begins moving through Congress
this week. This legislation, The American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) will require polluters to pay for the costs of
dumping harmful carbon pollution into the air, and will jumpstart clean energy development, protecting businesses and creating jobs
across the country.

Please click here to tell your Representative that you support this groundbreaking legislation.

Acting to limit carbon pollution is absolutely essential if we are to have any chance of protecting communities and vulnerable
public lands - our wilderness areas, our coastal refuges, national parks and treasured landscapes - from the severe and costly
effects of global warming. To address the effects we can't stop due to pollution already in the atmosphere, an important provision
in the bill will provide dedicated funding to safeguard our lands and wildlife from the impacts of global warming.

As you would expect, entrenched polluters including Big Oil and Big Coal and their supporters in Congress are doing all they can to
weaken the legislation. Led by ranking minority member Joe Barton of Texas, those who oppose the bill plan to introduce no fewer
than 450 amendments to H.R. 2454, nearly all of them designed to weaken the bill or delay its implementation. If they have their
way, polluters will rake in windfall profits and be allowed to dump heat-trapping gases for years longer than scientists advise.

Please show your support for this legislation by taking action now.

the highest priority for The Wilderness Society. Please join us in this effort.
