It's certainly clear that fossil fuels are mangling the climate and that the status quo is unsustainable. There is now a broad scientific consensus that the world needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions more than 25 percent by 2020 -- and more than 80 percent by 2050. Even if the planet didn't depend on it, breaking our addictions to oil and coal would also reduce global reliance on petrothugs and vulnerability to energy-price spikes.
Not only is the fossil fuel crisis damaging to our ozone layer, but it's ruining the US economy. By researching alternative fuel methods, we could create more US jobs and have more funds running through OUR system, rather than overseas. Signing this petition challenges Obama to find ways to save the ozone and the economy.
