Al Gore recently commented on an Australian protest where citizens rallied against the government for not taking more direct action against climate change. Al Gore echoed these sentiments for the United States, where he hopes that American citizens will rally to try and convince the government to take action against global warming, passing a comprehensive energy bill that will reduce carbon emissions and hold companies accountable for their output. This call for government action–or action from the people to encourage government action– is largely similar to the letter from Earth Fever authors Erik van Praag, Judy McAllister, and Jan Paul van Soest to the governments of the world, pleading with them to pass a comprehensive measure or bill against climate change.

You can do your part by writing to your local Senator or Representative, encouraging him or her to vote for methods and measures protect against climate change.
