Join Us on Siesta Key Beach for an International Day of
Action on Global Warming: Time is running out!
Saturday, December 8th 2007
On Dec. 8th activists at demonstrations around the world will say loud and clear that we need urgent action on global warming. The events will shine a bright light on the next phase of international agreements on limiting global warming emissions, a process the U.S. is notably absent from playing a key role in.
As the world’s leaders meet in Bali to create a new climate change treaty, we must show the world that we are committed to immediate action to stop global warming. Join hundreds of other climate activists on Siesta Key Beach and participate in a powerful aerial art message to our leaders – Time is running out!
WHAT: Aerial art message: Time Is Running Out!
We will need hundreds of people, some to form the shape of an hourglass and the rest to move from the top of the hourglass, one by one, to the bottom of the hourglass. A helicopter will be overhead with a camera team to record the movement symbolizing that time is running out to stop global warming. Come and be a part of this first-ever aerial art video and show the world that we need action now to save the climate!
WHEN: 1 PM Saturday, December 8, 2007
WHERE: Siesta Key Beach, near the pavilion
WHY: Climate change is undoubtedly the greatest environmental threat facing the planet today. According to a series of reports released throughout 2007 by the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and again supported by their report issued last month, the impacts of climate change are already being felt, particularly in the poorest countries of the world, and immediate action is needed.
The world needs a strong international agreement that includes the U.S. so we can peak emissions and stop global warming. Without this step the world cannot have confidence that the international community is seriously tackling this issue.
