-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject:Action alert: Stop drilling for oil off the California coast ❗ Date:Tue, 27 Feb 2018 17:01:37 +0000 From:Ann Hancock <ann@climateprotection.org> February 22, 2018 The federal government invites comments re drilling for oil off the California coast. Let’s let them know that Californians are opposed. Comments are due by March 9th. Click on the "Take Action" button below, then click on the "Comment now!" button on the top right side of the page. Here's some sample text you can copy and paste into the comments section. Why is the federal government planning on drilling for more oil off the coast of California? The amount of carbon already contained in the world’s proven coal and oil and gas reserves is five times the amount required to increase the global temperature by 2 degrees Celsius. The vast majority of the world’s scientific community and the 195 nations which signed the Paris Climate Accord agree that it is imperative to avoid an increase of average global surface temperature of more than two degrees. So if our current fossil fuel reserves exceed what we can safely consume, why would we want to drill for more oil and risk seriously damaging our vital coastal eco-system and California's tourism and fishing industries?
