Ratifying the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty
Posted on June 15, 2005
The flash animation Neglected Sky, calls attention to global warming and the need to ensure the Kyoto Protocol is in place. The need and rationale for the People's Ratification of the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty keep getting stronger. Just this week the world academies of science issued an unprecedented joint statement calling upon the developed nations of the world to take prompt aggressive action commensurate to the growing evidence of how serious global warming is. But the Bush administration continues to obstruct international cooperation. And we now learn that the chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, Philip A. Cooney (a former lobbyist at the American Petroleum Institute) has “repeatedly edited government climate reports in ways that play down links between [greenhouse gas] emissions and global warming.” (The New York Times, Andrew C. Revkin, 08 Jun 2005.) Along with our allies, we are responding to the US intransigence as best as we can.
What can we do? SIGN the People’s Ratification of the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty. To date there are 25,700 – 15,300 on our website and 10,400 collected separately by allies and supporters. Seeds have been planted, and we have a long way to go. The petition will be presented during the first Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, this November 28 to December 9, in Montréal, we will announce the People Ratification in a way that will maximize international attention to fact that US citizens care about global warming.
Sign the petition and spread the word!
