*[Enwl-eng] 48 hours left! -- the most important petition we'veever done

[ENWLine]

Only 48 hours til the People's Climate March! 1.8 million signed up, but to
hit 2 million this needs us all -- especially active Avaazers. Sign now and
tell everyone.

Dear friends,

I can sincerely say this is the most important petition we've ever done.

Sorry for the language, but one top scientist just warned that we are all
"f*cked" if global warming releases gigantic amounts of methane gas from the
arctic tundra. The UN knows this is one of several catastrophic climate
threats we're facing, and is bringing world leaders to New York for a major
summit on this global emergency.

Hundreds of thousands of us will take to the streets for the People’s
Climate March just before the summit. Let’s make sure that on that day we
deliver the largest Avaaz petition ever, for the only solution: mobilize the
world to shift to 100% clean energy. Click to sign the petition below with
one click and tell everyone:

Here's the petition:

To national, local, and international leaders:
Scientists warn us that climate change could accelerate beyond our control,
threatening our survival and everything we love. We call on you to keep
global temperature rise under the unacceptably dangerous level of 2 degrees
C, by phasing out carbon pollution to zero. To achieve this, you must
urgently forge realistic global, national and local agreements, to rapidly
shift our societies and economies to 100% clean energy by 2050. Do this
fairly, with support to the most vulnerable among us. Our world is worth
saving and now is our moment to act. But to change everything, we need
everyone. Join us.

Whether it's the 'arctic methane bomb', the rapid acidification of our
oceans, or apocalyptic flooding, climate change is the biggest threat
humanity is facing, and we need the biggest petition ever to meet it. If we
make it massive, the number of us who sign will be read out to all leaders
at the summit, published in hundreds of media articles, and be delivered by
our marches worldwide.

100% clean energy is a realistic goal. Already, 20% of the world's
electricity comes from clean energy, and solar power is cheaper than coal in
many countries! We just need to get our leaders to agree to put their foot
on the accelerator.

We're gearing up for the largest climate mobilization in history on
September 21. Already hundreds of events are organised and hundreds of
thousands of people signed up. But the events are designed to deliver our
petition to decision makers. Let's make it the largest call to action ever.
Join now and tell everyone - sign the petition with one click below:

We're all different, and beautifully diverse. But whoever and wherever we
are, climate change threatens everything we love, and brings all of us
together. Let's come together now.

With hope,

Ricken, Danny, Lisa, Judy, Alex, Iain, and the rest of the Avaaz team
