Dear President Bush,
I call on you as President of the USA not to betray the
Kyoto Protocol.
The United States must live up to its commitment to the UN
negotiations to prevent global warming. Sabotaging the
Kyoto Protocol puts the USA into a
position of environmental isolationism and makes it
responsible for climate catastrophe.
The US has the highest per capita CO2 emissions in the
world. People around the world already faced with the first
signs of climate change, suffering from floods and
hurricanes, expect your country to be in the forefront of
tackling climate change.
An enormous potential of creativity, innovation and
efficiency is there to be harvested once we have decided to
really reduce CO2 emission. If you fail to reverse your
decision to kill the Kyoto Protocol, future generations
will not forgive you.
President Bush, the science is proven and the international
political will is there to tackle climate change. The US
must join the world in tackling climate change.
Sincerely,
X
=====================
Background:
- Bush's campaign for presidency was backed and financed by
major US oil giants, which campaigned against the
international treaty to prevent global warming.
- The US promised to cut their climate changing gases by 7%
over 1990 levels before 2012 at the latest, but US
emissions in fact rose by more than 10% between 1990 and
2000.
- A White House spokesman said: "The president has been
unequivocal. He does not support the Kyoto treaty." The
Swedish Environment Minister
described the move as ìappalling and provocativeî.
