Gore: Tell The Senate To Pass Climate Change Legislation By Earth Day, 2010

In an address to the conference just before high-level talks began in Copenhagen yesterday, former Vice President Al Gore asked Washington to pass climate legislation by April 22, 2010 — the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. After a decade of inaction which was also the hottest on record, the world cannot afford to wait. Furthermore, if the US does not act, Gore said, other nations will leave it behind in building the clean energy future:

As a citizen of the United States, and no more, I will ask those among my fellow citizens who share my sense of urgency to join in asking President Obama and the leadership of the United States Senate to set a deadline of April 22, 2010.
