No War, No Warming
Peace Action International is an endorsing member of the No War, No Warming movement, a national coalition of peace and environmental movement leaders dedicated to stopping the war in Iraq and future resource wars by ending war and our addiction to fossil fuels, shifting government funding to rebuild our communities, and going green with new jobs in a clean energy economy .
These issues have never been more connected. The burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal is the major cause of climate change and foreign resource wars such as the Iraq war, and in turn the effects of climate change will only cause more violence as people fight over dwindling resources. This addiction to carbon-based fossil fuels is increasingly compromising our national security, melting the icecaps, raising sea levels, destroying Indigenous land, cultures and peoples and fueling extreme climate events like Hurricane Katrina world-wide.
