>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 one of 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
>emissions. If you fail to reverse your decision to kill the Kyoto
>Protocol, future generations will not forgive you.
>
>President Bush, the science is clear and the international
>political will is there to tackle climate change. The US must
>join the world in fighting global warming!
>
>Sincerely,
>X

>Background:
>
>- 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".
>
>- 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.
