Avaaz.org is encouraging all climate campaigners and anyone who cares about the global effort to retard man-made global worming to make their voice heard in a worldwide petition to be presented to the G8 representatives in Rome this week.

Avaaz says:

The G8, meeting in Rome this week, is weighing a pledge to limit global warming below 2 degrees centigrade, the level at which scientists say a deadly climate chain reaction becomes dangerously likely. Canada, Japan, and Russia are trying to veto the 2-degree limit — and an immediate global outcry is needed to rescue it.
