World leaders met today at the UN in New York City to talk about global warming and get ready for the upcoming international summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December http://en.cop15.dk/. Countries and leaders around the world say they are ready to work together to solve the climate crisis.
"The threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing," Obama said, after receiving loud applause. "And the time we have to reverse this tide is running out."

Indeed, we are running out of time. Climate scientists say we only have a few years to start to make the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid some of the worst effects of global warming. These reductions are 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
The only way that the international climate summit in Copenhagen in December will be a success is if the United States is a central part of the agreement. The US, which is 4% of the world's population, accounts for about 25% of the world's global warming pollution. We cannot afford to repeat the Kyoto protocol and opt out of a climate agreement.
In order for President Obama to have a strong voice in this international summit, he needs to have support from Congress. This summer, we passed the ACES (American Clean Energy and Security Act) bill through the House. This fall, we have the chance to pass a clean energy jobs bill through the Senate.
Here in New Hampshire, we can play a critical role in this Senate vote, because we have one of the most important swing votes in Senator Judd Gregg. 1Sky is building the buzz in the national and state media to put our senators, like Judd Gregg, in the spotlight www.1sky.org . The best way to get involved to voice bold support for climate solutions is to come to the 1Sky NH Kickoff Meeting on Thursday September 24th at the IBEW building at 48 Airport Rd. in Concord from 7-8 PM.
Please RSVP to 1Sky Concord's Kickoff Meeting to to demand bold climate legislation this fall: https://spreadsheets.google.co...
