"We are cooling. We are not warming . . . Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right?"
- RNC Chair Michael Steele

"Jokes" like this have gone on long enough. Forward this e-mail to five friends and ask them to sign our petition showing support for President Obama's plan to take on global warming.

Global Warming

Environment America is running campaigns in more than a dozen states and at the national level to pass strong global warming pollution laws. More.

Message * Hi, I guess, for some people, every day is April Fools Day. Could Michelle Bachmann, the congresswoman from Minnesota, have been serious when she said this last Wednesday: "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax [sic] because we need to fight back"? Yikes! Surely, RNC Chair Michael Steele was just kidding when he said this two weeks ago: "We are cooling. We are not warming . . . Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right?" Good one, Michael! Joe Barton, the congressman from Texas, must have been putting us on when he told us this: "I think it's inevitable that humanity will adapt to global warming . . . Adaptation to shifts in temperature is not that difficult." I guess we'll never know until we try, Joe! All kidding aside, Rep. Henry Waxman unveiled yesterday some serious-minded legislation that will carry out the goals we share with the president. Sign our petition calling on Congress to support the president's Carbon Cap right now. http://www.environmentmaine.org/action/global-warming/stop-carbon-lobby?id4=TAFsent Of course, the pro-Big Oil, pro-dirty coal, climate change-denying, head-in-the-sand crowd just won't quit their hijinks. And as a new poll shows that Americans support the president's plan by nearly a 2 to 1 margin, their "jokes" continue to grow more shrill by the day. How can you help set the record straight, stop the "Carbon Lobby," and help America get serious about clean energy and the climate crisis? Sign our petition right now: http://www.environmentmaine.org/action/global-warming/stop-carbon-lobby?id4=TAFsent Thanks! ************************************************************ You've been sent this email by a friend.
