Climate SOS Tour Blog Post #1
Sep 5th, 2009 in Featured Articles, Newswire, Tour BlogThe methane news in the MIT paper yesterday terrifies. Methane is likely escaping from the sea floor at a rate 1 million times faster than previously thought. One million times!
What are we going to do?
Are we going to let Big Oil, Big Coal and Corrupt Big Greens give us cap-and-trade and business-as-usual?
If you are among those of us who shout “NO!”, then join our Tour blog. Help us KILL THE BILL in the senate where cap-and-trade is spawning under Barbara Boxer and John Kerry.
The Climate SOS Tour to KILL THE BILL reaches Minot, ND tomorrow night (9/6), then gathers in Bismarck, ND for a pair of meetings with senate staffs on Tuesday, 9/8. We will meet with the State Directors of Sens. Dorgan and Conrad–and tell them the compelling environmental reasons to kill the senate cap-and-trade bill.
We are traveling by train and bus to ND, IN, AR, and OH during our campaign.
Let us hear from you!

The Climate SOS Tour Team from Massachusetts is gearing up to rendezvous with the West Coast team. Photojournalist Susan Laing and anti-biomass burning activist Dr. Bill Sammons will be departing for Bismarck ND to join Duff in meeting with staffers from Senators Conrad and Dorgan’s offices. The East Coast team will be presenting the Senate staffers with reasons why a cap and trade bill that calls incinerators clean and green does more harm than good.
A harmful Renewable Electricity Standard is one more reason to kill a climate bill that is based on the Waxman Markey ACES bill — which is what Senators Boxer and Kerry have promised we have.
