SAVE THE CLIMATE TREATY !

FLOOD GEORGE BUSH WITH YOUR E-MAILS!

>Stop President Bush from betraying the UN climate change treaty!

Last year the US blocked progress at negotiations in The Netherlands,
now
Texas oil-man President George W. Bush wants to destroy the Kyoto
Protocol
on climate change.

Friends of the Earth asks people around the world to electronically
flood the White House with protest E-mails.

Let’s give President Bush a taste of what climate change means and
how
much people are concerned about it.

=========================
Please cut and paste the message below into a new E-mail and send it
to:

PRESIDENT BUSH:
president at whitehouse.gov
Please CC to: protest at foeeurope.org
or go to http://www.foeeurope.org/climate
=========================

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 “appalling and provocative”.
