Critical Vote Approaching on Climate Change

Burrowing Owls are already having trouble – and global warming is expected to further reduce suitable habitat throughout much of their western range. Please e-mail your U.S. Representative and ask for a strong climate and energy bill.

Global warming is already having a profound impact on birds and other wildlife—and without urgent action, things will get worse. The U.S. House of Representatives will vote on legislation this week that will jumpstart a clean energy economy, create millions of new clean-energy jobs, and protect our environment by reducing global warming pollution.

Take ActionYour U.S Representative urgently needs to hear that you support this legislation. Please e-mail your member of Congress today and urge him or her to VOTE YES on the American Clean Energy and Security Act.

The recently-released State of the Birds report warns that "birds are at grave risk from habitat changes caused by climate change, especially in arctic tundra, alpine meadows, sea ice and glaciers, coastal wetlands, marine atolls, and ocean ecosystems." Global warming is already affecting the migration and breeding of many species. That's why Audubon strongly supports the American Clean Energy and Security Act (HR 2454) — it is imperative that Congress passes strong legislation so that we can begin reducing global warming pollution now to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

Take Action Ask your U.S. Representative to support this historic bill.
