Description:

Organization: Climate Equity Campaign

Climate Equity Campaign is a coalition of organizations calling for immediate attention to the global warming crisis. They have a space of their website titled "Tell the Candidates What You Want" where they share their proposals and leave a space for others to send a message to the candidates.  Below is their message:

The next President must lead on Global Warming. In order to do this, he must acknowledge that the U.S. has contributed more global warming pollution to our atmosphere than any other nation.  While some of this pollution was emitted before we knew its impact, it does not reduce our responsibility.  The next President must also acknowledge the burden that developing nations suffer and assist these countries in solving the problems of global warming.
