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, and is bringing world leaders to New York for an emergency summit.
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. Add your voice, and forward this widely:

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. 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 our 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:

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

Newly leaked documents have revealed how U.S. negotiators at the U.N. climate summit in Warsaw are opposing efforts to help developing countries adapt to climate change. According to an internal U.S. briefing memo seen by Democracy Now!, the U.S. delegation is worried the talks in Warsaw will "focus increasingly on blame and liability" and that poor nations will be "seeking redress for climate damages from sea level rise, droughts, powerful storms and other adverse impacts."

The images brought tears to my eyes. A chill fell over me, and goosebumps raised along my arms. I stared at the video footage in disbelief, and was suddenly so grateful that each of my family members—all in my beloved home state of New Jersey or in New York City—were safe. They were living without power or heat, but they were luckier than so many others.
In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, my work—and the work of my EDF colleagues—has never felt so personally meaningful.
And it's never been more clear: climate change is increasing the devastating effects of extreme weather—and it is time to do something about it.
The EPA is stepping up, and has proposed a groundbreaking new proposal that would—for the first time ever—nationally limit carbon pollution from new power plants. This is a historic first step in the President's Climate Action Plan, and could be America's first national effort at fighting back against climate change.
And you have a chance to be a part of it, to raise your voice, and to stand strong in favor of climate action.
Not just for my home—but for yours, and for everyone who has watched the places and people they love fall victim to these new, more powerful storms.
Because I'm not the only one with an extreme weather story. From devastating droughts to disastrous wildfires and calamitous floods, extreme weather is affecting more than just the East Coast. With one click, you can do something about it.
Take Action: Support EPA's national limits on carbon pollution from new power plants.
