AFP goes global - Hot Air tour heads to Copenhagen

Americans for Prosperity Goes Global With Hot Air Tour

‘LIVE from Copenhagen’ Webcast to Combat U.N. Conference’s Energy-Rationing Agenda

Grassroots events in U.S. will watch live Dec. 9 Webcast from Copenhagen Climate Conference

ARLINGTON, Va. – Americans for Prosperity will extend its Hot Air Tour, which has exposed the “ballooning” cost of global warming alarmism across the United States, worldwide on December 9. AFP President Tim Phillips and Policy Director Phil Kerpen will broadcast LIVE from Copenhagen to report on the U.N. Climate Change Conference the same day President Obama is attending.

AFP’s more than 75 Hot Air Tour events thus far, complete with a hot air balloon, have focused on congressional attempts to tax and ration Americans’ energy usage in the name of global warming. Now, AFP goes abroad to “U.N.-mask international global warming alarmism.”

“President Obama has said he will promise massive cuts in U.S. carbon emissions at this conference, and that would mean massive tax hikes on American families,” said Tim Phillips, president of AFP. “Bowing to international ‘green’ pressure would increase economic hardship for taxpayers trying to heat their homes and drive to work. The last thing we should be doing is punishing working families and killing jobs.”

Americans can watch the Webcast live in their homes, on their lunch breaks, or at a grassroots event in their own states. The primary U.S. event will be held in Philadelphia, Pa.
