<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>its exactly what David Suzuki warned us about
around 1990 with his radio series.."The Turn Around Decade" which I recorded and
listened to with great interest, and got involved for the next 15 years in
trying to make some env'tal changes around here. We can all do grassroots
things, but its the big decision makers, like Stephen Harper, who doesn't
understand the importance of environmental issues one iota, that are ruining
everything, blindly, while the world is about to fall apart. Its like
when someone is sick and dying and crying out for help, and no one is listening.
People go on their merry way worrying about silly day to day things with an "I
can't <EM>hear</EM> you" attitude. </FONT></DIV>

happened in 6 months<B>. </B>6 months for the planet to unleash an army
of apartment-building-size ice blocks across Europe and the United
States. <B>It was a climate tipping point where the balance is knocked
completely out of control</B> and threatens the survival of everything
-- and <I>three more tipping points exactly like it </I>are
on the verge of happening.<BR><BR><B>It's our "holy shit" climate moment
according to a leading NASA scientist, </B><SPAN>and only a holy
shit massive coordinated day of action response, right now, can change
the future we’re facing. <BR></SPAN><BR>One agreement with common
sense steps to end dirty energy <I>can </I>save us. That’s why the
UN has called an emergency climate meeting in just over 100 days with all
major world leaders — if we greet them with the<B> largest ever global
climate mobilisation in history</B> we can break through the walls of
mega coal, oil, and business that prevent even the best politicians from
doing what is right.<BR><BR>There’s no way to get around how big a task this
is. But together, each small action will add up into a millions-strong
movement that literally drowns out the opposition and<B>gives our leaders
the best reason to break free and build a hopeful, clean and green
future. </B>Click below to join in:<BR><BR><A

points” are feedback loops, where climate change feeds back on itself and
causes rapidly accelerating, catastrophic consequences. Right now, methane
gas that is 25 times worse for global warming than carbon dioxide is
frozen in our ice. But as the ice melts, the gas leaks, causing more melting
and each melt loses us another reflective ice shield that we rely on to
block some of the sun's most harmful rays. And that's just one example…
it’s why scientists are yelling form the rooftops that we have to act
now.<BR><BR>We actually have the tools, and the plan we need to make sure we
don’t cross into a world where tipping points destroy us. And while it will
take global cooperation on a bigger scale than ever before, <B>our 36
million-strong movement already has the people power necessary to move
leaders from every country to take the first steps. </B>Just this week,
the United States and China announced record-breaking policies to curb
pollution in their countries — momentum is building and in just over 100
days we can bring it to a massive and history-making climax.<BR><BR>Taking
to the streets in a record setting show of power and coordination is one of
the most effective ways to create change -- from the anti-Apartheid movement
in South Africa to civil rights in the US, it’s sometimes been the only way.
This is our chance to bring that power to the most important issue of our
time: survival and a thriving future for our families, and their families
and the generations of people to come. <B>Click below to be a part of
