There is a flyer circulating called \"The Kyoto Protocol: Job Killer.\" This flyer claims that \"Kyoto will hurt our environment,\" that there is \"no conclusive evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming\", and that Kyoto will \"kill up to 400,000 Canadian jobs.\" Dubious claims to be sure, but still the argument concerning the loss of jobs can give pause, so let\'s address it with this petition. We the undersigned Canadians would gladly volunteer to give up our jobs in exchange for a global agreement to limit the level of greenhouse gas emissions.

I started this because I wondered if I was alone in my priorities, but seeing your names appear has truly humbled me. This is entirely your movement now, and I am just doing my best to keep up with the conviction you have all shown.

I am honestly stunned by how many of you feel the same way about our priorities. This momentum is entirely yours because you are the ones choosing to put the planet above everything else.

The economy wont mean much when the water is gone and the air is unbreathable. stop prioritizing short term money over our actual survival.

Ridiculous scare tactics. Ive heard that job loss stat a dozen times and it never adds up. protecting the earth comes first.
