Sign the Petition Against Canada's Blockade of a Climate Change Agreement

It hasn’t been easy to be Canadian over the past few days. Our prime minister, Stephen Harper, has been holding the world hostage as his empty and protectionist opposition to the emerging consensus on climate change blocks any meaningful new agreements. In a word: pathetic.

Whether or not you’re a Canadian, there is one simple action you can take. Sign the petition which will be accompanied by a national media campaign condemning the Harper government for their selfish willingness to gamble with all of our futures.

You might also consider signing Al Gore's petition - adding your name to the list of people worldwide who are calling for a more inspired and demanding approach to rapidly reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we produce. We have a choice: enter into an inspired era of invention as we change the way we do almost everything; or fight a million small battles against the effects of climate change. In other words, we can go for a cure or we can endlessly treat the symptoms. And as Gore shows, a more revolutionary climate change agreement may be much simpler than most us would think.
