We need to make 2007 the year for effective global warming action.

With the new Congress, we have a new opportunity to pass meaningful legislation.

Senators Lieberman and McCain have reintroduced their Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act and we expect up to six additional global warming bills to come within the month.

Pledge to support legislation that meets our four principles by signing our petition today.

Great, thanks for signing the petition.  Per your request, I also posted this in your Yahoo! Group.  Best of luck with the group :)
I'm curious what people think of the principles behind this petition ...
  • - Set a hard cap on global warming pollution and a concrete timetable for reduction;
  • - Ensure all forms of global warming pollution are covered;
  • - Set new standards for environmentally sound ethanol and other biofuels; and
  • - Foster free market competition for next generation energy sources

Personally, I can't pledge to "support any legislation" that meets these criteria. Without these pieces:

  • Commitment to stabilize below 2°  C of warming;
  • Halt deforestation
  • Aggressively support clean tech development in developing nations.
we don't have a solution at all. I realize that no one bill is going to do everything, but I think it's high time that we got clear about what policy solutions we really need, and this EDF petition is really very vague.
