I have a big inbox today and one from my writer 'step-father' (ex partner of my mum) seems well worth sharing:
Subject: Don't let them ignore it Date: Thu, 03 May 2007 09:36:39 -0700
Dear Avaaz member,
This Friday, the official body of the world's top climate scientists will release a historic report. Their findings: humankind has the power to stop climate catastrophe. But to do it, politicians need to act--and fast.
The science is now crystal clear that it's not enough for individuals and corporations to go green. Government action is required. Our political leaders will be responding to this report over the next few days. But politicians have shown time and again that they won't listen to science unless their bosses--we, the people--tell them to.

Years from now, once we've won this fight, our victory will seem like it was inevitable. But at this moment, it is your work--joining with others around the world to turn scientific facts into political action--that makes it possible. We're glad to stand with you. Ben, Iain, Ricken, Graziela, Paul and the Avaaz Team
