Over past months there have been several studies that 
further irrefutably show that the Earth's climate is 
undergoing rapid and chaotic change as a result of human 
activities. CO2 levels are rising to such dangerous heights 
that a quarter of land species are expected to go extinct, 
the Great Barrier Reef and other important ecosystems are 
dying, changing ocean currents may trigger a mini ice age in 
Europe, and the U.S. military expects greater armed conflict 
caused by climate change. As the Earth burns, leaders of 
major industrialized countries dither. In particular, the 
United States, Russia and Australia have shamefully refused 
to support the Kyoto Treaty - the only international effort 
to address the issue. Further, these countries have refused 
to take other measures such as introducing a carbon tax. 
Taxing carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions would 
provide substantial sums to undo the damage, compensate 
those most impacted, and allow for greater investments in 
renewable energy and ending deforestation. The Lincoln Plan 
at http://www.climateark.org/lincoln_plan/ is an example of 
such an approach. Please take a moment to encourage the 
"Filthy Three" - Bush, Putin and Howard - to live up to 
their responsibility to protect the Earth's climate.

Please forward widely!
