\"FBWhat would you like to tell the world’s leaders about global warming?<\/p>\n

With the focus now on the Copenhagen climate conference, this is your chance to speak out. Go to our Facebook page and add your voice to our 10,000 Reasons to Support Strong Climate Action<\/a> campaign. We will share these reasons with key members of Congress and with the White House.<\/p>\n

Here are just a handful of the more than 650 reasons offered so far:<\/p>\n
