Climate Action Hot Air Balloon in The Hague the Netherlands

Greenpeace calls on the EU and Russia to pressure Bush to sign the Kyoto Climate Treaty. During the international summit in The Hague they fly in a hot air balloon with the banner message 'EU & Russia: Push Bush to beat the heat!'. The balloon itself has the shape of the earth with the texts 'Save the Climate' and 'Stop Global Warming'. Half November Putin finally signed the Kyoto Treaty, as a result this will officially become valid on the 16th of February 2005. In the Kyoto Climate Treaty the industrial countries have agreed to lower the emissions of greenhouse gases and to stop the global warming. Greenpeace wants that the United States, responsible for about one quarter of the worldwide CO2 emissions, also signs the Kyoto Treaty.
