Open Letter to President George W. Bush from Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR), UK Concerning the US Decision not to Implement the Kyoto Protocol

The letter from Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR), UK, argues that the US decision to reject the Kyoto Protocol is irresponsible and threatens millions of lives. The authors contend that the scientific evidence for climate change is robust and that action must be taken based on the best available evidence, even in the presence of scientific uncertainty.

• The decision by the US government not to implement the Kyoto Protocol is described as highly irresponsible and a threat to the lives of millions of people in the future, particularly in light of evidence published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
• The authors argue that the certainty of the scientific evidence regarding climate change is significantly greater than the certainty of the 537 votes that determined the 2000 US Presidential election result in Florida.
