Climate Invaders!
Monday, April 12, 2010
(NWF)"The
horrifying hordes of Climate Invaders are upon
us - creeping up from the lower elevations,
attacking from foreign countries, and settling
into areas where once they were unable to
survive." - from "They Came From Climate
Change!" by National Wildlife
Federation
This is no April Fool's joke.
Deer ticks, mosquitoes, fire ants, cheatgrass,
bark beetles, poison ivy and more advancing
with the climate and invading more of the
United States. If you think this sounds like a
bad horror movie, well... we agree with
you!
National Wildlife Federation today
released a report and (what we think is) a
terrifically bad 1950s B-movie trailer called
"They Came from Climate Change!". Take a
3-minute break and watch the video and see the
report at: www.nwf.org/invasion
What can stop
the Climate Invaders? A comprehensive clean
energy and climate bill that includes dedicated
funding for an army of American workers on
American lands. We need to cap the
pollution that causes climate change and
revitalize our rural economies by employing
people to restore our lands, water and
coastlines, and build resilience to climate
disruptions into our ecosystems.
