UCS: Call to Action on Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is running a campaign to influence the debate in Congress on global warming legislation.  They are looking for scientists, economists and the public to make their voices heard before March 28th.

"This is a call to action to our nation's leaders and will be delivered to all members of congress, state policy makers, presidential candidates, and the media. This call to action provides sound scientific and economic guidance to our elected officials as they wrestle with the urgent need to reduce global warming pollution. And it demonstrates that strong action today can save consumers and industry money and create jobs all while improving air quality, energy security, and  public health.

You can help our efforts today by adding your name to this urgent call to action. If you are a Ph.D. or doctoral candidate professional with expertise relevant to our understanding of the scientific and economic dimensions of climate change, its impacts, and solutions—please sign the Scientists and Economists' Call for Action.

If you’re not a scientist or economist—we also need your help! Click here to add your name to our global warming call to action."

UCS is a valuable source of well-balanced and thoughtful information on a broad range of topics, and also provides an opportunity to get our voices heard over the lobbyists.
