Global Warming

[Yuet-Wah Lam]

PLEASE READ AND SIGN THIS IS IMPORTANT AND WORTH TAKING A FEW MINUTES!

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 produce 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 greenhouse
gases.
