ACTION ALERT

Once upon a time, not too long ago, people argued that global warming didn't exist.

But as the long, hot summer continues, few still ignore evidence of global warming's devastating consequences: climbing temperatures worldwide; more violent hurricanes like Katrina and Rita; chronic wildfires and drought; and disappearing icecaps and glaciers. All the while, energy prices continue to rise, hurting American families in the pocketbook. Global warming is happening now, and it's time to act. The League of Conservation Voters has launched a campaign – The Heat is On: Demand Global Warming Leadership Now! – to make a difference about global warming. We have already mobilized thousands of Americans to call on Congress, the President, and both political parties to make their plans to tackle global warming and move America to a more secure energy future a central issue in the upcoming elections in November.
