If you're unfamiliar with Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute of Columbia University, you might want to check out all the impressive things he's doing up there (video, books, etc). He recently sent out an email:

We've entered an exciting new era in the fight against human-induced climate change. As you may now know, on Tuesday, Feb. 20th, The Global Roundtable on Climate Change, hosted by the Earth Institute, issued "The Path to Climate Stability: A Joint Statement by the Global Roundtable on Climate Change." This consensus statement spells out a framework for global cooperation to meet the world's growing energy needs while also protecting the environment.

Nearly 100 global companies and organizations have already signed on. Indeed, Allianz, Citigroup, General Electric, the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches, Senator Olympia Snowe from Maine, and Volvo, are just a few of the illustrious signatories who have agreed to this breakthrough framework.

The Global Roundtable on Climate Change is now inviting individuals in all parts of the world to join many of the world's leading businesses, scientists, environmental groups, as supporters of this consensus approach. The aim is to help demonstrate the global will to solve this problem, by showing that a true global consensus is possible, involving individuals, companies, and civil society in all parts of the world.

The Earth Institute is deeply committed to bringing the best of science and policy analysis to the great challenge of climate change. We hope that you will join us in this historic effort.

This new site, www.nextgenerationearth.org, also has amazing pictures of Climate Change, in addition to articles on how to very easily reduce your carbon footprint, and detailed stories of exactly how Climate Change is affecting the human population today.

Check out the site, and add your signature to the "Climate Change Statement of Principles."
