Center for Biological Diversities Petition to Obama
PETITION TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: SAVE THE POLAR BEAR Dear Mr. President: The world’s inhabitants — people, animals, and plants — are relying on you to take immediate measures to stop the climate crisis in its tracks. Please do everything in your power to fully enforce existing environmental laws like the Endangered Species Act, Clean Air Act, and National Environmental Policy Act to curb greenhouse gas emissions now.
Please take swift action to: Establish strong national and international goals for greenhouse
emission reductions, ensuring that atmospheric carbon levels be reduced to no more than 350 parts per million.
Pass a moratorium on oil and gas drilling in polar bear habitat. Encourage other nations to do the same.
Prohibit the building of new coal-fired power plants and replace existing plants with clean, renewable energy sources.
Lead the nation in a rapid, large-scale effort to conserve energy, improve fuel efficiency, and operationalize clean energy technologies.
We’re depending on you to have the courage to take on the biggest crisis in human history without flinching.
