Why this petition matters

Started by Zachary Shahan

UK conservative, Foreign Secretary William Hague, recently nailed the topic of climate change in a presentation to the Council of Foreign Relations, saying such things as: 

“Climate change is perhaps the twenty-first century’s biggest foreign policy challenge;”

“An effective response to climate change underpins our security and prosperity.... The clock is ticking. The time to act is now;” and

“You cannot have food, water, or energy security without climate security. They are interconnected and inseparable. They form four resource pillars on which global security, prosperity and equity stand. Each depends on the others.”

When a UK conservative can say such things, why is it US political leaders still can't hardly talk about this let alone take action on it?

The time to act is now, and it is up to us to let our political leaders know that we want them talking about and addressing this critical security issue.
