Dear Friend, An old African proverb says, 'If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together'. To tackle the climate crisis Al Gore says, 'We need to go far, quickly'. In his latest short update, Al also show us the earth's beating heart. Amazing. WATCH. G8 Update The race for short-term targets is on. Last month we mentioned Scotland's 42% reduction target by 2020. Now Tuvalu has set a 100% goal by 2020. It is hard to see how anyone is going to beat a 100% goal, although new research has shown that Scotland could create over 140% of its energy needs from clean energy by 2030. Now things are getting really interesting. Meanwhile, New Zealand have launched a great new campaign that is pushing for a 40% cut by 2020. ACT - Sign on. United Kingdom The UK government saved their banking and car industries, now they need to save the wind power industry. Please take both these actions as they create pressure on two different people who are critical to the outcome. Thanks. ACT - 38 Degrees ACT - Friends of the Earth. US Climate Bill Thanks for all your feedback on the US climate bill. It's a start, and this interview with Obama's Energy Secretary Steven Chu gave us some real hope and a few smiles. WATCH - "He's alive!". Also this month, the US set a new record with 13% of their electricity generation coming from renewable sources. More from OneHundredMonths partners We love this.
