Background - 13 November, 2009
We must act today to stop treating the
atmosphere like an ashtray. Global warming is already claiming
300,000 lives each year, and threatening many hundreds of millions
more.

The Climate Orb shows stories collected by Greenpeace and many
other organisations that are collaborating this year as part of the
TckTckTck campaign. If climate
change is affecting you or your region - please submit a story to
go on this Orb! If you're witnessing unusual changes in your
environment - whether it's flooding, droughts or simply noticing
the birds that don't come to your garden anymore - we want to hear
about it.
The secret to securing a safe future for everyone is a strong,
fair, and binding international deal to limit greenhouse gas
emissions. Our leaders will make decisions this December at the UN
Climate Summit in Copenhagen (COP15). It might seem like the future
is in their hands. But really, it's in ours: If we all speak loudly
enough, with one voice, they will know we care about this issue and
they will listen. YoU-Turn the Earth!
