This is one of those add-your-name-to-the-bottom petitions that many people
say are useless, but this will be sent to the White House, which ought to
be
effective. The issue is Bush's infuriating and frightening decision to
withdraw
from the Kyoto protocol on global warming.
President Bush recently announced that the United States Government will
not honour its commitments under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to reduce
greenhouse gases.
The United States produce 25% of the world's carbon dioxide, a gas that is
believed to be the main contributor to global warming. Rising global
temperatures are
known to raise sea levels, and change precipitation and other climate
conditions. Changing
climates alter forests, crop yields, and water supplies. It could also
threaten
human health, and harm birds, fish, and many types of ecosystems. An
increase in
weather-related disasters will occur, deserts may expand into existing
range-lands, densely
populated coastal areas will flood and large numbers of people will have to
move.
Show you disagree with the Bush Administration's decision to withdraw from
the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on Global Warming. Urge President Bush to review
his
policy in this matter and devise a comprehensive plan to reduce US
emissions of
so-called greenhouse gases.

PLEASE Sign your name, town and country of residence at the bottom of this
e-mail, copy the entire text of this e-mail (do NOT use the forward
button), into a
new message and send it to as many people as possible. If you see 100
people
have signed this message before you, send this e-mail to the White House at
president@whitehouse.gov to show Mr. Bush the world is watching. Then
start a fresh copy of this message with your name as the first signer.
Thank you.
