Fw: Global Warming

[Guest guest]

All, The power of the web in action. Sorry if you already got this. If

you didn't get this before, please take a quick look... 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 produces 25% of the world's

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

could also threaten human health, and harm birds, fish, and many

types of ecosystems. An increase in weather-related disasters will

occur, deserts may expand into existing range lands, densely

populated coastal areas will flood and large numbers of people will

have to move. Show you disagree with the Bush Administration's

decision to withdraw from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on Global Warming.

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

comprehensive plan to reduce US emissions of so-called greenhouse

gases.
