Dear reader,
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
rang 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.
