Wake up Bush, Harper!

How many times do scientists need to come out with more data before politicians actually do something about it? This is no case of a little boy crying wolf. The wolf is real and its breath is getting hotter and hotter because of our dependence on fossil fuels. Politicians and their fear of running our economies into the ground are taking us down a path of no return. Our planet is at stake. Scientists just discovered that Greenland's glaciers are melting three times faster now than they were ten years ago. The more this stuff melts, the more water and land will be exposed to absorb even more solar heat. The warmer it gets, the more the ice will melt. And so on. And so on. This is a vicious cycle that we need to get out off of now! I'd like to call on our politicians to think about their legacy. Do they want to be forever known as leaders who let the planet go down a path of destruction? Or do they want to go down in history as the leaders who acted to save our planet? They're our elected leaders. President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Stephen Harper really need to hear what you think.
