President Bush recently announced that the United States Government will

NOT

honor its commitments under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse

gases. The United States currently produces 25% of the worlds 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 will also threaten human health, and harm birds, fish, and

many

types of ecosystems.

Let's do our part, and prevent the following:

An increase in weather-related disasters, expansion of deserts into

existing

range lands, floods to densely populated coastal areas

Show you disagree with the Bush Administration's decision to withdraw from

the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on Global Warming.

Urge Preside nt Bush to review his policy in this matter and devise a

comprehensive plan to reduce US emissions of so-called greenhouse gases.
