Last year, 170 countries finalized this international treaty, despite strong U.S. opposition. Canada and the United States are now the only G-8 countries that haven't committed to adopt Kyoto. If you can, visit http://www.davidsuzuki.org to urge the Prime Minister to support Kyoto. Kyoto is the only global strategy to address climate change - the world=92s biggest environmental challenge. Urge the prime minister to act with Europe, Japan, and the overwhelming majority of countries around the world in support of the Kyoto Protocol.
