(For those of you who get my Action Alerts, you've already seen this.)
I've just received a fantastic sample letter you could edit (or not) and send to President Obama (and your representatives, if you haven't already written them).
Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel of CarbonFees.org have done impeccable research once again.
Please read "Why Waxman-Markey Won't Work" at their website: http://carbonfees.org/home/WhyWaxman-MarkeyWontWorkJune-09.pdf.
and then use their sample letter as a template or write your own, but let Obama know that the current legislation doesn't begin to address this enormous problem, in fact it may hasten our demise.
And if you do this, I would really appreciate a note saying you did it. Thanks!

Long-term Solutions to Accelerated Global Warming
At right, below "What is a Wedge?," are links to three proposed solutions to our climate emergency, the top being my low-tech and conservation-oriented plan, the next being a tech-heavy plan of a prominent scientist/politician, and the third being the inept Obama Energy Plan. If technology-dependent plans are adopted, by the time it becomes painfully obvious that they won't work, that will be too late. I feel that solutions relying heavily on technology will allow our excessively consumptive ways to carry on, and therefore are doomed to failure because we cannot continue forever on a path of endless growth on a finite planet. Most of the posts on this site explain my ideas in further detail. I think the best solution is right here: Relocalization, not Militarization.
