A Letter from Al Gore

Al Gore has asked everyone on his mailing list to invite their friends to join the Alliance for Climate Protection. Since I prefer not to forward things, I’m posting the letter here.

Dear Friend,

Climate change is an urgent issue that requires immediate solutions. That’s why I’ve joined with Al Gore and others across the country and around the world who want to halt global warming.

We’re on the verge of being over one million strong and I’m asking you to join us. Please click here today to become part of the solutions to global warming: http://wecansolveit.org/alliance

If leaders in business and government are going to make stopping climate change a priority, we need to send a loud message that we want action now. That’s why I’m asking you to get involved today: http://wecansolveit.org/alliance

Together, we can stop global warming.

I realize that signing up for petitions like this is what Snopes.com would call “slacktivism,” and slacktivism is a poor substitute for actual activism—but even slacktivism is better than do-nothingism. Or at least that’s my rationalization.
