President Breaks Campaign Promise on Global Warming.
***************************
Action Network from Environmental Defense.
Finding the ways that work. ***************************
The Bush Administration has taken a major step backwards in the fight against global climate change. Just yesterday, President Bush reversed his campaign promise to curb all key pollutants from electric power plants, including carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.
Power plants are responsible for 40 percent of carbon
dioxide releases in the U.S. - the most important greenhouse gas.

This is a major reversal. Just days ago, the Bush
Administration, including EPA administrator Christie
Whitman, publicly stated its support for requiring
greenhouse gas pollution reductions from power plants.
However, pressure from coal industry lobbyists was
enough to convince the Administration to back away
from progressive solutions to global climate change.

The administration has reneged on a major environmental campaign commitment. Also, in opposing the Kyoto Protocol and power plant pollution controls, it has effectively blocked the only two proposed vehicles for fighting global warming, the key environmental threat of this century, while offering no alternative path to protect the planet.

TAKE ACTION:
Follow the simple instructions below and send a message to President Bush and Administrator Whitman expressing your disappointment with this reversal. Urge him to follow through on his campaign promise to seek effective solutions to global climate change, beginning with basic reductions in power plant pollution.

SPREAD THE WORD:
The President needs to hear from you and your friends
and family. Visit

Dubya is allowing oil corporations to destroy the
ecological system in Alaska by drilling for oil.
He also says that America will build a railroad through
British Columbia to carry the crude to the lower 48.
Canada says NO!!!

Save Spectacled Bears and Other Species From Global Warming

Dear WWF Conservation Action Network Activist:

Despite new scientific findings that global warming is already having a serious impact on species and their habitats, President Bush recently reversed a campaign pledge and decided not to seek reductions in the
carbon dioxide emissions of the nation's power plants. He has also said he will not support the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement that calls on industrialized countries to reduce their carbon pollution in order to curb global warming. His decision means the spectacled bear of the Andes, the mountain gorilla in Africa, the resplendent quetzal of Central America, and many other species of mammals, invertebrates, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and insects will remain at risk from our
overheated atmosphere.

More than 100 governments represented on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently endorsed a report which states that
climate change is already having a "widespread and coherent impact" on the planet, and that it is occurring in all environments and on all continents. President Bush's decision not to seek emissions reductions
flies in the face of dire warnings about the irreparable damage global warming is causing and is at odds with the position of his administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. His change of heart came after heavy lobbying from the oil and coal
industries and congressional Republicans.

Let's show President Bush there is tremendous support for protecting our living planet. Please go to http://takeaction.worldwildlife.org/ to send
a free message urging him to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and support the climate change protocol.
