I rarely forward circular/petition-type email, but this is so important
for all our futures, I'm make an exception for once.

I understand the whole thing is also on the FoE website

Here is the proposal for the e-mail avalanche.   Please respond to this
proposal within the next two hours....

- -- please distribute this eMail widely-

SAVE THE CLIMATE TREATY !

FLOOD THE 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please CC to: protest@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
or go to 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 progressive
nations and tackle 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".
