Suzuki

The New York Times profiles Dr. David Suzuki, the "environmental conscience" of Canada. According to the article, when Prime Minister Jean Chrétien found broad popular support for signing the Kyoto Treaty (even in oil-producing regions), he had Dr. Suzuki to thank. David Anderson, Chrétien's environment minister tells the Times: "David Suzuki was very important in that regard. He has clout, he has a strong following and he is a genuine scientist."
