The World Wildlife Fund is asking people to write the representatives to support the Climate Stewardship Act (S. 139/H.R. 4067). They have a web site that makes it very easy to do so - and you get a coupon for a free scoop of Ben and Jerry's ice cream to boot! Do it - your kids will thank you!

Tidal waves in Manhattan. Tornadoes in Los Angeles. A blizzard in Bombay. The culprit? Global warming. That's the fictional story in the new action thriller film, "The Day After Tomorrow."
The scenario is over the top. But the fact is, global warming is happening -- and it's happening today, not the day after tomorrow. Since 1980, we've seen 19 of the 20 hottest years on record. In that time, 20 percent of the North Pole ice cap has melted away. Scientists agree this unprecedented warming is caused by heat-trapping pollution from burning fossil fuels.
Experts report that if we don't cut global warming pollution soon, we face serious risks including drought, flooding, and heat waves, not to mention devastation for coral reefs, the Florida Everglades, and other natural treasures. That's fact, not fiction.
The good news is we already have the tools we need to fix the problem. The Climate Stewardship Act is a bipartisan bill that would cut global warming pollution and help keep our planet cool. The bad news is that the bill currently lacks the votes it needs to pass.
Turn up the heat on Congress to pass the Climate Stewardship Act -- take action now, and we'll send you a cool "thank-you" coupon for a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
Better do it now, though -- just like melting ice cream, this offer won't last through the summer.
Free Ice Cream!
