Dear Friend,<br><br>
Did you hear about The Heartland Institute's outrageous billboard comparing people who believe in climate change to mass murderers and terrorists? It's possible you missed it, since a firestorm of criticism compelled them to take down their ad in one day. <strong><a href="http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/page/m/396e8f2d/6fd6001d/19209018/19ba0ce0/2461378658/VEsE/" target="_blank">Take a look:</a></strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<a href="http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/page/m/396e8f2d/6fd6001d/19209018/19ba0ce0/2461378658/VEsF/" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Help stop Heartland" src="http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/page/-/heartlandbillboard.jpg" width="580" height="214"></a></div>
<p style="font-size:medium">
Since the billboard is now empty, we are reminding Heartland who is really on the fringe here. Just for this week, as Heartland convenes its annual conference, we are putting up our own ad in its place and on eight other billboards nearby -- so that Chicagoans and everyone at the conference will see our response. And we are sharing this ad far and wide.<br>
<br>
The Heartland Institute has a history of spreading denial and doubt about everything from tobacco to climate change. Now, they are associating everyone who believes in climate science with the worst of the worst.<br><br>
<strong>We can't let them have the last word.</strong> Serious leaders in science, business, religion and government from around the world have long recognized the need to take action to address the growing climate crisis. Our billboard will reflect their voices in the days ahead. And we need your help.<br>
<br><strong><a href="http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/page/m/396e8f2d/6fd6001d/19209018/19ba0ce0/2461378658/VEsC/" target="_blank">Take a look at our ad and help support this project.</a></strong><br><br>
Climate change is real. But there are groups out there -- like the Heartland Institute -- with a vested interest in promoting dirty fossil fuels. Don't let them. <strong>Donate to our campaign to stop the climate deniers and win the conversation:</strong><br>
