| LONDON AND WASHINGTON WILL BE FLOODED. |
Dear Mr President,
Thanks for your letter. We sing from the same hymn sheet on Climate Change. I have been banging this drum since 1985, promoting Telecommuting to cut about 20% of cars and Foodtubes to cut 50% of freight vehicles (The USA must invest in FOODTUBES now to avoid disappointment).
Good luck with your battle with the rigidly calcified minds in Congress.
Read the book and buy a boat or build an Ark.
Best wishes - Noel
PS - And thanks for your several invitations to lunch. Yes, we'd love to come to The White House. Do we board Air Force One at Heathrow?
28th JUNE 13 - Would you believe the speed of response! See flights and hotel booking below. And he's such a busy man. Incredible. Washington here we come.

Noel --
I told Congress in February that if they didn't take action to fight climate change, then I would.
Today, I announced a plan of action to make good on that promise.
My administration is taking steps to cut carbon pollution, prepare our nation for the unavoidable impact of climate change, and put America's best and brightest to work to solve this issue on a global scale.
One thing we know is we'll face a well-organized and well-financed opposition by the special interests that profit from keeping things the way they are -- and there are members of Congress who fundamentally deny the science on this issue.
But we cannot stand by any longer.
I need to know you'll fight alongside me. Say you will.
Over the next few months and years, I'm going to need the millions of OFA supporters who understand that we have a responsibility to future generations to fight climate change to join me, and be a force of change in your communities.
We owe it to our children and grandchildren to take action -- and now is the time.
Today, I'm here to tell you I am committed to doing my part.
Say you'll do yours:

LONDON FLOODS

Letter to The Guardian
Even if the
16 nose to tail buses you photographed blockading Oxford Street, were clean
1950’s electric Trolley Buses, (North Circular tops list of London’s most polluted roads – 24 June 2013)
their bulk, noise and manoeuvring would still threaten the pedestrians, 29,000
of whom die annually from exhaust fumes. We daily mirror this insane bus
gridlock, on London
Road , Oxford

| 26th June 2013 Noel -- Sometimes these contests can seem a little cheesy. But it boils down to this: We're doing it because President Obama says over and over again that he loves meeting with grassroots supporters. So why not take a shot? Airfare and hotel are on us -- all you have to do to enter is throw your name in the hat today: http://my.barackobama.com/Go-Backstage-with-President-Obama Thanks, Grant Grant Campbell Chief of Staff Organizing for Action |
