Received this e-mail today from Senator Ed Markey (D. MA) regarding climate change:
UNITED STATES - JUNE 18:  Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., conducts a news conference in the Capitol Visitor Center where he and Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., discussed the GOP's energy bill and accused them of catering to special interest groups and not addressing high gas prices.  (Photo By Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call)
Anyone who says that “the jury is still out on climate change” hasn’t been paying attention. The jury has deliberated, it has come back into the courtroom, and it has delivered its verdict: climate change is real, and it is happening now.

The world is getting warmer. Polar glaciers are shrinking. Sea-levels are rising, making the damage from extreme storms like Hurricane Sandy worse. But big oil companies refuse to face reality.

Generations from now, when our children and grandchildren look back on this defining moment -- what will they say about us?

I’m working everyday so future generations can say we acted to stop climate change. So today, I’m teaming up with my colleagues to gather grassroots support on a petition urging Congress to combat the effects of climate change. But I need your help to do it -- please add your name to our petition.

To halt climate change, we need to start a clean energy revolution. We need to harness renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal. And all of that means jobs -- hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs that also make the planet healthier. Seems like a win-win, doesn’t it?

I’m asking you to join me. With your help, we can break through the gridlock. Add your name to mine and sign the petition today.

Thank you for your support, and for joining me in the fight.

Ed
