George W Bush The daughter of the former South African president, Nelson Mandela, is to take on the new Bush administration at the Oxford Union on 13 June, by proposing that: This house Condemns America's Neglect of Climate Change (as justice and efficacy demand that rich countries cut emissions before the developing world joins in). In a joint initiative, Oxford based charity, The Millennium Debate and Elsevier Publisher's REFOCUS magazine (Renewable Energy Focus) are co-organising the public debate at the Oxford Union. They have made a special arrangement for non-members to attend on this occasion. The debate centres around US President George W. Bush's recent decision to withdraw from the Kyoto accord saying that Kyoto is unfair and exempts 80% of the world, including population centres like China and India, from compliance. The US stance, coming from a country with 5% of the world's population that emits over 25% of the total world greenhouse gas emissions, has lead to a world wide uproar, with some critics even proposing an all out trade war on the United States. Dr Maki Mandela insists that the issue is one that will affect the Developing World more than American businessmen. The US Embassy in London declined to put forward a speaker, though a representative from the Embassy will be in attendance. Major oil companies, Exon and Texaco have also declined to speak in the debate. Speakers for the motion: Dr Maki Mandela, Executive Director of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (and daughter of Nelson Mandela); Zac Goldsmith, Editor, The Ecologist Speakers against the motion: Philip Stott, Professor of Biogeography, University of London; and David G. Victor, Council on Foreign Relations, United States xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx TEL: 01865 552463, 01865 843648 or MOBILE: 07775 698 549 for more information [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
