Partington Petition for Concerned Canadians: Whereas global warming is an unequivocal threat to our environment, our economy and to people’s lives; and Whereas global warming must be kept as far below 2° Celsius as possible (relative to the pre-industrial level) in order to prevent catastrophic consequences; requiring developed countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25 to 40 per cent (from 1990 levels) by 2020; and Whereas Canada should join the global community in agreeing to these reductions at the United Nations climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009; therefore I call on elected officials to ensure that Canada honours its Kyoto commitment and sets a national target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25 per cent (from the 1990 level) by 2020. Canada must have a credible plan to meet this 2020 target, including: • a just price on greenhouse gas pollution; • world-leading regulations and effective investments to cut greenhouse gas pollution from vehicles, buildings and other sectors; • strong measures in support of energy conservation and renewable energy; and • urgent measures to minimize climate change impacts on people and ecosystems here and abroad. 347 have signed so far - help us get to 10,000.  We have achieved 3.47% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition!
