Governor Rick Scott has previously dodged climate change by stating that he is "not a scientist." And when he unveiled his transparent "Let’s Keep Florida Beautiful" campaign, there was one glaring omission: the phrase "climate change." It's not Beetlejuice; it's not Voldemort. What would appear if he said "climate change" three times? Common sense? Gov. Scott has now had a meeting with climate scientists where evidence and solutions were presented -- he no longer has any excuse. Get the governor to stop dodging and announce his administration's plan to combat climate change.

During his days in Washington, Scott Brown’s priorities were clear. He voted three times to protect special tax breaks worth billions of dollars to his friends in Big Oil, while taking more oil and gas money than all but two of his Senate colleagues. In total, he has collected nearly half a million dollars from the oil and gas industries. Now, the Koch brothers are trying to send him back to the Senate. They have spent over three million dollars on attack ads against Brown’s opponent, Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Tell Scott Brown to renounce the Koch brothers’ money that’s supporting his campaign and start taking action on climate change.

People want to live in accordance with Nature.

I am starting this petition because I am concerned about the health of this planet. We are already beginning to see changes in the climate that directly affect many people. We cannot continue to upset the delicate balance of our eco-systems and not expect the planet to fight back!

Recently, the Michigan Senate voted on to allow hunting of wolves. The vote is a direct threat to these precious wild creatures and democracy. The Senate’s approval now sends the measure to the state House. If lawmakers pass the legislation, it will automatically become law. If they reject it or do nothing, the issue will go on the November general election ballot allowing citizens to oppose wolf-hunting. Gray wolves once numbered 2 million in North America, ranging across most of the continent. But they were nearly wiped out everywhere a generation ago, not least in Michigan. By the time the gray wolf was listed as endangered under federal law in 1974, there were only six left there. However, the species has managed a steady comeback, reaching a current population of more than 600 in Michigan. The survival of wolves will be in the hands of individuals and institutions guided solely by self-interest and profit, if the legislature refuses to let the voters have a say. Also, what could go on the endangered list are democracy and citizens' faith in government. There has never been a single record of a wolf attack on a human in Michigan. In fact, wolves are fearful of people, and avoid them. This leaves only one motive: killing wolves merely for sport, thrill, out of hatred, and for trophies -- which is what brought wolves to the brink of extinction in the first place. Wolves are not nearly the threat to humans as some of us humans are to our own humanity. If you believe in protecting biodiversity and democracy, sign this petition to stop the slaughter of wolves in Michigan.

The Obama Administration has launched a new initiative to protect bees and other pollinators, which emphasizes public education, research and habitat expansion. But this effort falls far short of what's needed. The plan fails to take definitive action on neonicotinoid pesticides -- a key factor contributing to bee die-offs and one they could do something about now. Tell President Obama he needs to take strong and immediate action to save bees and ban bee-killing pesticides now!

Protect the Arctic

The USDA Predator Control Program is woefully outdated and often at odds with conservation measures in use by other federal and state wildlife management agencies.

Aldai Stevenson says: "We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable resources of air and soil, our safety is conditional on peace and security on this spaceship.We succeed not to be annihilated due to the care, effort and love we give to our fragile vehicle. "The greed of the corporations must come to an end. We want a healthy planet for us and our children.

BILL McKIBBEN, founder of 350.org, tweeted, “To deal with climate change, we have to mobilize like its World War III.” It is my honor to present a formula for mobilizing. Economist Jeffrey Sachs wrote “As citizens of the world, our job now is to demand peace through diplomacy, and through global, regional, and national initiatives to address the scourges of poverty, disease, and environmental degradation.” http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/jeffrey-d-sachs-on-why-global-instability-today-does-not-have-to-end-as-badly-as-it-did-in-1914 WE can demand diplomacy by promoting a GMofNV. The plans are ready! We must UNITE now for many reasons but especially because violence is escalating everywhere. There is still time to enact this strategy if specific elements are in place within the next three weeks. The obstacles to create change are enormous – I call a Behemoth. Therefore something special and different is needed – a David vs. Goliath! Please see two letters sent to BILL McKIBBEN . http://gsofnv.org/LettertoBillMcKibben5-20-14.html http://gsofnv.org/LettertoBillMcKibben8-22-14.html Please sign this petition "before" we are desperate. We must be proactive! The DOOR is OPEN! We must go through it. Thank you.

I am starting this petition because the environment is important to me. The Arctic is a beautiful area that is home to many animals, and it needs to be protected.

Fresh water to preserve the ecological health of the Bay Delta and other sensitive ecosystems can only vanish at an ever-accelerating rate with global climate change. Foolish wasteful unthinking practices of water use MUST be replaced by thoughtful, CONSERVATIVE use of our resources. If we cannot change, the entire state will become a desert and the oceans, deprived of fresh water inflow, will become saline to the point of toxicity. There is another way.
