Dear Friends, <http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen?cl=401792085&v=4919> *Copenhagen's last-ditch summit* to stop catastrophic global warming is *failing; only massive public pressure can save it.* Sign the giant petition below - it may be the largest in history: [image: Sign The Petition!]<http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen?cl=401792085&v=4919> With three days to go, *the crucial Copenhagen summit is failing. * Tomorrow, the world's leaders arrive for an unprecedented 60 hours of direct negotiations. Experts agree that *without a tidal wave of public pressure for a deal, the summit will not stop catastrophic global warming of 2 degrees.* Click below to sign the petition for a real deal in Copenhagen -- the campaign already has a staggering *10 million supporters - let's make it the largest petition in history in the next 72 hours!* Every single name is actually being read out at the summit -- sign on at the link below and forward this email to everyone! http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen<http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/?cl=401792085&v=4919> An Avaaz team is meeting daily with negotiators inside the summit who will organize a *spectacular petition delivery to world leaders as they arrive*, building a giant wall of boxes of names and reading out the names of every person who signs. With the largest petition in history, leaders will have no doubt that the whole world is watching. Millions watched the *Avaaz vigil inside the summit on TV yesterday, where Archbishop Desmond Tutu told hundreds of delegates and assembled children*: *“We marched in Berlin, and the wall fell. "We marched for South Africa, and apartheid fell. "We marched at Copenhagen -- and we WILL get a Real Deal.” * Copenhagen is seeking the biggest mandate in history to stop the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. History will be made in the next few days. *How will our children remember this moment? Let's tell them we did all we could*. http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen<http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_copenhagen/?cl=401792085&v=4919> With hope, Ricken, Alice, Ben, Paul, Luis, Iain, Veronique, Graziela, Pascal, Paula, Benjamin, Raj, Raluca, Taren, David, Josh and the whole Avaaz team. ------------------- *Want to support Avaaz?* We're entirely funded by donations and receive no money from governments or corporations.
