Subject: ACTION ASAP PLEASE "Make three calls for our climate [right
now please]";
(also note, see footnote: September 21 march on Washington)
I have pointed you previously (3/18/14) to April Moore's lovely site, Earth Connection.
Now please see her "Make three calls for our climate" action request.
I have studied a bit, and her action request has become my action request.
THIS TELLS YOU WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
"Why taxes on carbon pollution are essential, what’s happening now, and how you can help," by Carbon Tax Center,* which is where I got this picture. http://www.carbontax.org
The rightmost bar on the graph is the projected (to 2030) improvement that the carbon tax proposal Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA):

The rightmost bar on the graph is the projected (to 2030) improvement that the carbon tax proposal Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA):
"Like you, we know full well that a measure
like McDermott’s can’t and won’t make it through this
Congress, and perhaps the next, even though it could be folded
into comprehensive tax reform, spurring economic growth by
shifting tax burdens off work and investment and onto climate
pollution. But seven percent won’t do. A robust carbon tax
like McDermott’s is more essential than ever."
So let's just make those calls anyhow, just to put pressure on.
Oh, and please help take this particular message viral.

Bill McKibben's reference was to an earlier article there, "Next to Nothing for Climate in Obama Plan," by Charles Komanoff, June 2, 2014, also at Pace University's EarthDesk. Charles Komanoff's June 2 article starts with discussing the proposed new EPA regulations on cutting emissions from power plants the progress of which have been much in the news lately. It then and also references http://citizensclimatelobby.org/ for a way of joining in further action.
