At the G8 summit in Japan, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, and US President George W. Bush are refusing to discuss climate targets for the year 2020.
Setting concrete, short-term targets is critical to the world's response to averting a climate crisis. We have to show these leaders that their global reputations will be affected by their actions -- so Avaaz has arranged an attention-grabbing, satirical full-page advert on Tuesday in the global Financial Times. Copies of the paper will be delivered to the hotel rooms of every delegate here at the summit. The more it is backed by global people power, the greater its effect will be. Click below to endorse its message and donate to help cover the cost, and then pass this message to friends and family!

Harper faces a difficult election this fall, and climate change is emerging as a key issue. Bush, too, will soon be replaced, and the climate policies of his successor will be shaped by the political climate this summer and fall. And Fukuda faces a strong political opposition that is challenging him regularly on this very issue.
In short, Our global efforts now can send political shock waves through all three countries. It's up to us to raise a cry once again. Sign, donate, and spread the word:
