Our planet is heading towards a global heating disaster that will make
World War II look small.  (Recently I read that 70 million people in
Bangladesh face losing their land to the sea.)  If we are to avoid
this, we need strong efforts right away.  Meanwhile, greedy bastards
are funding activities such as the Heatland Institute [spelling
intentional] to pretend there is no problem.

A party that doesn't give high priority to this is not addressing
humanity's needs.

The German Pirate Party program takes a reasonable position on the
environment in general, but it's section number 13 (not near the
start), and it doesn't mention global heating.  ("Global warming"
doesn't express the seriousness of the issue so I recommend "global
heating" instead.)

I propose that the Pirate Movement take a strong and clear stand:
We must save our planet from being roasted!
