A very important new coalition
Stop Climate Chaos
(Warning, this skips the 'flashy' intro, but the 'take action' section caused browser chaos for IE).
Without urgent action, climate change will devastate life on earth. ... the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, will be put at severe risk ... up to one third of land-based species could face extinction.
Politicians have so far failed to take sufficient action to avoid this. Yet the choices made in the next five to ten years will determine the extent of the devastation faced by future generations. We can save millions of lives and a multitude of species by keeping the average global temperature increase under 2°C. To achieve this, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak and be falling irreversibly by 2015.
...
Before this decade is out, world leaders must ... prevent catastrophic climate change ... We will act to ensure that they do."
