We, the undersigned, recognize that the Bush administration has ignored the urgent needs of the environment. In March 2001, numerous nations banded together to ratify the Kyoto Accord. Unfortunately, George W. Bush rejected the Accord due to his beliefs that it would be detrimental to the American economy. And yet, recent events have proved how urgent the need for cutting down emissions is.
Environmentalists have stated that the recent tsunami in Southern Asia, which has killed at least 150, 000 people, have been caused partly by global warming which accounts for the changing sea levels. This have only intensified the probability of these natural disasters. Pollution of chemicals being released in the oceans have resulted in the degradation of stunning corals reefs worldwide.
Global warming also is the cause for melting ice in the arctic. Resting grounds for seals and polar bears have greatly decreased over time as they watch their habitats slowly melt and ebb away. Scientists predict that by 2100, there will be no more ice left in the Arctica chilling possibility. Thus, monumental amounts of water have cause oceans to rise to unprecedented levels. This exposes the likelihood that areas including: Florida, the Netherlands, and the Maldives could actually disappear if levels continue to rise at their current rates.
Numerous cities such as Hong Kong and Mexico City have declared that 2005 will be the most polluted year ever. Concentrations of particles in the air will only increase the risks of cancer incredibly. Chemicals floating in the air due to the improper handling of industrial wastes include nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and phosphoric acid cause harmful acid rain which are slowly destroying forests across all over North America. The United States of America accounts for 25\% of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions.
We call for the ratification of the Kyoto Accord and that George W. Bush discontinue his current harmful actions toward the environment and to join the many leaders of the world in uniting to protect this world of ours.
Thank you.

- Hello. I'm a Canadian girl, I'm 13 years old and I go to Junior High. In school, we learn to take care of the environment, to do what we can to care of it. The kids know what is going on now, the global warming and all, George W Bush is being hated... Really hated. If I would ask anyone what they think about USA President they will all say he's an idiot. George W Bush, You do NOT care about you're people, you do not care of this Earth and that makes you a total idiot, you think American Economy is more important ? Think about it, what will you do if the Earth slowly dies, do you think money will save it ? I doubt it. Think a little, hear the people, not only from America but from other countries. Think Earth not Money. Thank you. Oh by the way, stop making dumb wars, you're just buying your ticket to hell. See ya !
