Last year the US blocked progress at negotiations in The Netherlands. Friends of the Earth asks people around the world to flood the White House with protest e-mails. Let's show President Bush how much people care about climate change.
Climate change is the number one environmental threat facing the world.
People around the world are already suffering from floods and hurricanes which could be first signs of climate change. The United States has four per cent of the world's population but produces 25 per cent of the world's carbon dioxide - the principal cause of climate change. The US has a clear responsibility to act to prevent this threat. The Kyoto Protocol is the only international treaty that will cut emissions of the gases that cause climate change. The US must live up to its responsibilities.
