Our recently-released Birds and Climate report clearly shows that climate change is affecting birds – and our world – now. For the past 40 years, as our climate has warmed, birds have shifted their winter ranges further and further north.
This ecological disruption is yet another wake up call that we must act quickly to solve the climate crisis. The birds' northward movement is another signal that climate change is here and action is needed now.
We need global warming legislation that will help birds and wildlife survive what is coming by protecting their habitats and will reduce global warming pollution 80 percent by 2050 to avoid the worst impacts of a rapidly changing climate.
Tell your lawmakers where you stand on global warming by signing our petition.

The Obama Administration has put a freeze on the Idiot Bush Administration's last-ditch attempt to strip wolves in the Northern Rockies of their Endangered Species protection. We now have a historic chance to roll back this deadly rule -- and close the book on eight years of relentless government-sponsored attacks on these living icons of the American West.
Tell Interior Secretary Salazar to reverse the Idiot Bush Administration's policy and maintain strong Endangered Species protection for the gray wolf.

Sept 09, 2008 -- Fight the Right-Wing Wackos Links of the Day.
** Natural Resources Defense Council **
Congress is scheduled to vote on comprehensive energy legislation in the coming days. As high energy costs are challenging households across America, legislators have offered a variety of policies to address the problem. But some proposals are clearly better than others.
With less than three percent of the world's oil reserves, we cannot drill our way to energy security. Opening our nation's coastlines to more destructive drilling would only add to the oil industry's billions in profits, do little or nothing to lower gas prices for families and businesses, and keep our nation dangerously dependent on fossil fuels.
The energy policy choices we make today will affect the quality of our air and water as well as the security of our nation for generations to come. Instead of prolonging outdated policies that support fossil fuel development, Congress should invest in clean renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies that offer us a real path to energy independence.
Tell Congress to say Yes to clean energy and No to drilling

** Progressive Democrats of America **
Feeling pressure from voters and House colleagues, Speaker Pelosi has agreed to debate expanding oil drilling as part of an energy package that emphasizes clean energy and other price relief. Some kind of vote needs to happen this fall to preserve the existing moratorium on offshore drilling, anyway. The vote could happen as early as September 12.
Speaker Pelosi is committed to clean energy solutions, and she expects debate will show that clean energy is the answer that will truly help Americans.
Send a message to your representatives that clean energy is our best answer to high gas prices.

The Bush Administration has just initiated a new oil and gas development plan to "accelerate an offshore exploration and development program." Tens of millions of federal lands and waters are already open to oil and gas leasing, with millions of acres under lease and awaiting exploration. There is no need to sacrifice new, sensitive, and important marine and coastal ecosystems. Find out more.
Please send a letter to add your comments to the public record to oppose efforts to open sensitive ecosystems to oil and gas development.

With only five months left in office, the Bush Administration is pushing to ram a new 5-year offshore drilling plan through Minerals Management Service (MMS) that would put large coastal areas in the hands of oil companies and aggressively expand current drilling. Expert after expert has said we can’t drill our way to energy independence.
With our extensive work in Russia, Alaska, and California, Pacific Environment has witnessed the devastating effects of oil and gas projects. We’ve seen oil spills destroy communities, disrupt traditional indigenous cultures, soil beaches, and kill countless numbers of birds, marine mammals, fish, and other wildlife. Instead we want clean solutions that decrease our dependence on oil, create new jobs and lower prices.
Join us in demanding clean energy solutions and speaking out against offshore drilling, more giveaways to Big Oil, and unnecessary increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
Tell the MMS today to stop new oil drilling and demand real energy solutions!

Aug 26, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.
** Earth Justice **
Big Oil and their White House allies want you to believe that opening up America's coasts to offshore drilling will lower your gas prices.
In reality, Bush's own Department of Energy says that offshore drilling would have "no significant impact" on gasoline prices, and we won't even see those meager savings until 2025.
Yet Bush's Interior Secretary is using $4.00-a-gallon gas prices to justify expanding drilling on the Outer Continental Shelf -- at the same time that his oil industry friends are sitting on leases for nearly 68 million acres of untapped federal lands and water.
We need you to speak out against this Big Oil-backed land grab now!

In it's final few months in office, the Bush Administration has launched an attack on the Endangered Species Act, our most important wildlife law. The Department of Interior has proposed changes to Endangered Species Act regulations that, if enacted, will gut the regulatory process that protects listed species like Whooping Cranes, Piping Plovers, and Roseate Terns.
Send a letter to the Department of Interior, urging them to abandon this misguided plan.

Gold Mine Threatens Death Valley
We need your help to stop a gold-mining proposal that would destroy up to 10 square miles of fragile desert only a few miles from Death Valley National Park.
The Bureau of Land Management is considering a proposal from Timberline Resources Company to explore for low-grade gold ore as part of its plan to put a massive gold mine on Conglomerate Mesa, just east of Owens Lake in the scenic Inyo Mountains. Conglomerate Mesa was formerly included in the Cerro Gordo Wilderness Study Area, is adjacent to the Malpais Mesa Wilderness, and may still be considered for future wilderness designation.
The Bureau of Land Management produced an inadequate Environmental Assessment for the exploratory drilling. It fails to address any of the environmental impacts that will result from a gold mine in this area and also fails to adequately address the impacts of the exploration.
By sending the Bureau the following letter, you can raise your voice to help save an important swath of California's irreplaceable desert.
