As promised, here’s a look at the other TV ad we’ve launched as the full Senate prepares to debate the Climate Security Act.
This ad shows a naysayer literally melting away: “Melt” TV ad.
What do you think? Yesterday’s ad, “Grounded”, is my personal favorite. Please pass along whichever one you like better!

The Senate floor debate about the Climate Security Act is scheduled to start next week, so we have two new ads running in key states.
This one has gotten good reactions (and a few winces): “Grounded” TV ad.
What do you think? If you like it, make sure to rate it and share it! Tomorrow, I’ll post another ad, called “Melt.”

Over the past few months, I’ve made the case for passing climate legislation in 2008. Now we’re finally on the doorstep of Senate action on a comprehensive climate change bill. Floor debate over the Climate Security Act (was S.2191, now S. 3036) will begin Monday, June 2.
If opponents of meaningful action have their way, the debate will be nothing more than a short, partisan fight over gas prices. You can already hear the predictable scare tactics: “Why would we want to raise gas prices now, when working Americans are already suffering at the pump?”

The main reason to pass climate legislation as soon as possible is that the fate of the world is at stake. We’re in a race against time to stop global warming, or face irreversible climate catastrophe.
But there’s also another race – the race to develop the clean energy technologies that will power our future. The world is at the dawn of a technological revolution, and we need the economic incentive of climate legislation to fully participate.

This post is part of a series on the work of the Environmental Defense Action Fund to enact an effective climate law. You can help by writing to Congress.We’re closer than ever to passing national climate legislation:
But we need to maintain grassroots pressure to keep legislators focused on the need to pass a bill this year.

Why push for a climate bill in 2008? I’ve already given some important reasons in my previous posts: the politics will be much the same in 2009, we don’t want to squander the current momentum, and in any case, we simply can’t afford to wait.
But if those aren’t reason enough, here’s another: The world is waiting for us to act. To solve the global warming problem, China and other developing countries also must cap their emissions, and they won’t do this until our own cap is in place.
