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.
