WWF is calling all leaders in Canada’s scientific community

Tomorrow, the Globe and Mail will publish a full-page advertisement by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF-Canada) outlining an open letter signed by over 500 Canadian scientists to Prime Minister Harper calling for strong Canadian action to address climate change, leading up to the global negotiations in Copenhagen in December.

To view the open letter, see http://wwf.ca/pmletter .Canadian scientists with a Ph.D. who wish to sign may still do so and the same link. Here’s the call out from WWF:

Dear Colleagues,

Please lend your scientific voice to the call for strong, global action to address climate change, leading up to the global negotiations in Copenhagen in December. Consider signing the open letter to the Prime Minister of Canada and all Parliamentarians that WWF-Canada will publish in a national newspaper before the global meeting starts Dec. 7th.

The current list of signatures can be found here. I have signed the open letter and hope you will do so, too.
