Greenpeace Hangs Global Warming Banner off Pittsburgh Bridge!

As the G20 climate talks get underway, Greenpeace activists intend to send a clear message to world leaders. Three 80 x 30 foot banners hanging off Pittsburgh bridges are urging our leaders to act on behalf of the climate. They read:

• “Warning. G20 Climate Talks Ahead. Danger of Falling Expectations”
• “Caution. Climate Disaster Zone. G20 in Session. Expect Delays.”
• “Danger. Climate Destruction Ahead. Reduce CO2 Emissions Now.”

The activists are asking supporters to sign a petition in support of strong climate action. the petition states:

I'm ready
Dear President Obama
I am ready for our leaders to sign a global climate deal in Copenhagen that is ambitious, fair and binding.

Like many of us, Greenpeace is calling for the end of inaction and irresponsibility regarding the climate crisis. We cannot afford to wait any longer. The Pittsburgh bridge banner hang is one of thousands of messages being sent to our leaders and representatives that we will no longer be appeased by half-measures.

On September 21st, the TCKTCKTCK campaign mobilized 2632 events in 134 countries. These events produced tens of thousands of phone calls to governments officials from Australia to Europe. These calls crashed government lines and demanded bold climate action from our world leaders.

These actions are just the beginning. As the UN climate talks in Copenhagen near, the actions will become more frequent and diverse. Expect an uprising of citizens on behalf of the climate.
