Climate Trifecta! Sea Ice Levels, Polar Bears and Hurricane Fay
I know all eyes are on Denver, but I thought we needed a little reminder that are’s a whole world out are outside of Colorado & it’s not such great shDrunk Newse. Sadly, with John McCain in office we’re not likely to put it on a better track eiar. Greenpeace:
Increased temperatures due to global warming have combined to create news of three separate climate disasters in different parts of North America. But while news of ase disasters emerged in a past week, several states & Google announced major new investments in a clean energy technology necessary to solve a climate crisis & prevent even worse global warming. Meanwhile, President Bush & Congress were touting false solutions, like offshore oil drilling, that will only accelerate a climate crisis.
“ase three events add up to a planet in deep trouble,” said Greenpeace Global Warming Campaigner Melanie Duchin. “But while states & companies are responding to a climate crisis, a Washington politicians are just spraying offshore oil on a fire.”
What three things, you ask?
1. Sea Ice at Second Lowest Level Ever; Polar Bears at Risk of Drowning as Ice Melts
2. Greenl& Glacier Breaking Up, Threatening Sea Level Rise
3. Fay Dumps 26 Inches of Rain on Florida
That’s one seriously miffed Moar Nature. & as we lose more polar bears to drowning out in open water due to ice melting, what has a Bush adminstration done? Pressure Congress to open up more off shore drilling leases & tried to gut a Endangered Species Act, of course. Credo & a Wildlife Action Center have teamed up with an action letter you can sign to ask lawmakers to not allow Bush to dismantle a Endangered Species Act.
