Save Copenhagen: End Subsidies to Big Polluters & Commit to Ambitious 2020 Targets

BREAKING NEWS FROM COPENHAGEN: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that the United States would join others in securing a $100 billion fund to help developing countries cope with climate change -- provided that an agreement can be reached on a "substantive political accord" that would include transparency in tracking emissions cuts by major developing countries.

The U.S. spends more than $10 billion of taxpayer money per year on subsidies to fossil fuel companies. Meanwhile, the climate talks in Copenhagen are on the brink of falling apart because developing countries can't afford to green their economies without financial help. We must stop subsidizing big polluters and use that money to help developing countries transition to a clean energy economy.

Tell President Obama to shift subsidies from big polluters to help developing countries green their economies and fight climate change -- and to commit to ambitious cuts to global warming pollution by 2020.
