Aspen Chamber of Commerce Opposes US Chamber's Climate Stance

The board approved the resolution on a 12-2 vote, and also agreed to survey ACRA members about their views on climate-change legislation . . .

The ACRA, says the resolution, recognizes that its individual members' views may differ on specifics of the issue, but believes members agree the issue needs to be constructively addressed. The ACRA wants to distance itself from lobbying and political activities that it doesn't consider helpful in the discussion, according to the resolution. The ACRA, the resolution concludes, "opposes the lobbying activities and current advertising campaign" of the U.S. Chamber as not representing the local chamber. It also urges the national organization to cease its negative lobbying activities and work constructively to pass climate-change legislation and negotiate meaningful international treaties to limit carbon emissions. NYC ClimateSOS — Nov 30 2009 11:39 AM

Ironically, disdainful of NRDC's approach to global warming, activists will be visiting your office in NYC today as part of the global Mobilization for Climate Justice (MCJ) actions taking part all over the world. Activists will be calling into questions NRDC's policies and integrity.

When: November 30: 12 noon – 2:30 pm EST (take a long lunch. . . or the rest of the day off!)

Rally at Bank of America (16th and 5th Avenue near Union Square), followed by a colorful procession with a marching band (!) to the offices of US CAP member, corporate-friendly ‘enviro’ organization, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) for a Speak Out with climatologist Dr. James Hansen, Carbon Tax Center environmental economist Charles Komanoff, Safe Water Movement co-founder Laura Sheinkopf and more!

Street theatrics and hijinks included!

The goal of our participation in the MCJ is to send a warning shot across the bows of corporate ‘greens’ who distort climate science on behalf of major polluters. As climate legislation gets redrafted next year, it is critical that these groups are challenged by a new more mobilized and informed environmental movement. We must make clear to them that we will not accept false solutions or inadequate targets, even after Copenhagen fails to result in a meaningful agreement. The new climate bill, which will be drafted for the next Congressional session (2010), must have science-based targets that give our planet and its species a fighting chance and don’t peg our survival on carbon markets, pie-in-the-sky techno-fixes, or ’solutions’ that guarantee the long-term viability of oil, gas, or coal industries.
