international climate talks 2001
On the 15th July Greenpeace releases a balloon with the banner saying "Bush and Co.= Climate disaster" above Argentina's glacier "Perito Moreno", the most important glacier in the Patagonian Andes, South Argentina.
Greenpeace is urging USA, Japan, Canada and Australia to support the Kyoto Protocol. The glaciers are victims of the climate change, and it is feared many will disappear by the end of the century unless global warming is brought to a halt.
This Perito Moreno glacier is the most visited place in the Patagonia region by international tourism. The glacier, a very emblematic area of the Argentinian Patagonia, is part of the "humanity treasures" of UNESCO.
