U.S. President George Bush has announced that his administration is
abandoning U.S. support for the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The decision has sparked outrage around
the world and there have been many calls for Bush's corporate backers to
distance themselves from this decision.
On 5 April, Greenpeace launched a new climate campaign by writing to the
100 largest U.S. corporations, many of whom funded Bush's election campaign,
and asking them to explain their position on the Kyoto Protocol. As of
today, only ExxonMobil, the largest U.S. corporation, has responded, not with
a letter, but by taking out ads in major newspapers attacking the Kyoto
Protocol.
Please help stop global warming by joining our campaign to force the
largest U.S. corporations to take a clear position on the Kyoto Protocol and
greenhouse gas reduction.
