Dear Friend,

Global warming is a problem of unprecedented magnitude and that's why we've launched the largest mobilization campaign ever. Actions by individuals like you will be the driving force behind this campaign and our ultimate victory. We're going to succeed, but I need your help today.

More than 850,000 people have already joined us, but if leaders in business and government are going to make stopping climate change a priority, we need you to urge your friends to get involved today: http://wecansolveit.org/invitealliance

We need to grow to 1,000,000 members by April so we can send a loud message that we want action now. That is why I need you to forward the email below to all of your friends and family right now and ask them to add their voice.

Thank you,

Al Gore

P.S. You can donate to our efforts here.

The Martin Agency is running We Can Solve It for the signature side. The donations and mailing list management functions are run by David Geller's What Counts.

In 2003 the Inuit Circumpolar Conference (ICC) initiated legal work, leading to the filing, in 2005, of a petition to the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, seeking relief from violations resulting from Global Warming, caused by acts and omissions of the United States.

While many in the South characterize climate change as an environmental and/or economic issue, to us it raises questions of culture and survival.

It seems odd to me that in the climate change community, the effect on agriculture, and therefore human misery, in Black Africa, is front-and-center, yet in the civil rights community, the quest for social solidarity that transcends race ends at the waters' edge, and contemporary Africans are no more necessary than contemporary Inuits, or particulate and gases (other than greenhouse) on urban populations.
