Week 22: Start a snowballing snowdome campaign!

This week the book says I should send President Bush a snowdome to emphasise what’s at risk if the USA does not sign up to international protocols on climate change.

Before leaping into action, I did a Google search to see if anything new has been written about Bush and this subject and I found this –

WASHINGTON, May 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush, under fire for resisting tough action on global warming, on Thursday called on 15 influential countries to agree by the end of 2008 on a long-term goal to cut emissions.

The proposals, announced before a summit of major powers that will consider the issue, stressed new technologies to make energy use more efficient and restated Bush's rejection of firm caps on carbon dioxide emissions that many of his allies want.

Critics dismissed the strategy as a diversion and a delaying tactic but some European leaders and a U.N official expressed hope that it might be a first step to more action.

So do I send him a snowdome or not? Actions certainly speak louder than words and I feel Bush is yet to act. I opted for the cheaper, carbon friendly alternative of emailing him a picture of polar bears stranded on melting ice and thanking him for his intentions.
