Summer Hayes signed Sign Climate Emergency Petition 2019-04-30 16:47:12 -0700We need to take action.
We have been given many chances and warnings from the earth itself, the earth is in self destruct mode and no one seems to care enough to save it! Children/young adults all seem to be taking action, more action than the adults of today are doing and even if adults claim they are it’s not making a significant change because at this rate no one knows if the younger generation will make it to adulthood. We have young activists speaking on behalf of my generation (the younger generation) because adults aren’t taking enough action themselves. Humans destroy everything they touch we are our biggest enemy and it isn’t fair that now the earth we live on is now consistently suffering. Children/young people have no say because we aren’t allowed in positions of authority, we aren’t allowed to speak our mind to the adults because we are taught only they are right. I know governments are claiming that they’re trying but they’re clearly not trying hard enough because look at the state of the earth. SO REALITY CHECK ADULTS, YOU HAVE THE MONEY, THE POWER AND THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE SO TAKE IT! DO SOME GOOD IN THE WORLD, WHILST WE STILL HAVE A WORLD TO LIVE IN!Please Sign the Climate Change Emergency Petition

Climate Change Emergency Petition
We, the citizens of our nation and of the Earth, are endowed with certain rights, powers, and obligations, which demand we act to preserve and protect the future of humanity and Earth's other biological life.
Our petition has four demands.
Based on abundant scientific evidence or our own climate change experiences, we recognize that:
a. The global climate is rapidly warming.
b. Despite 60 years of credible scientific warnings, climate change and global warming are still rising and have reached dangerous levels, causing widespread deterioration across our climate and environment.
c. The global climate is becoming increasingly unstable due to atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution (carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide), which is dominantly coming from the burning of human-caused fossil fuels. This is an urgent crisis that demands immediate action.
We are now facing a rapidly worsening climate change scenario.
This climate change-driven environmental deterioration and escalating extinction threat can only be fixed by our politicians immediately enacting the scientifically correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets.
Getting close to the 2025 global targets will dramatically reduce the damaging atmospheric carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide and prevent the worst consequences of climate change.
It will also help prevent the loss of at least 10 million lives a year worldwide from just the painful and debilitating health-related effects of the toxic air pollution caused by fossil fuel burning.
If we do not get close to the 2025 fossil fuel reduction targets, the frequency, severity, and size of global climate change consequences will rise dramatically from 2025-2031 and beyond and far beyond what we can quickly adapt to.
Many of these climate change consequences will be catastrophic and last for hundreds to thousands of years.
Therefore, I hereby demand that our politicians and government leaders meet to enact these four demands:
1. Declare a national and international Climate Change Emergency. (We will never be able to manage worsening climate change unless we call the climate change emergency that it really is.)
2. Immediately pass enforceable and verifiable national and international laws that will get us close to the required 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. (These climate change-related laws and actions are described here.)
3. Order an immediate government mass mobilization of ALL necessary resources and personnel to execute ALL required governmental actions to come as close as possible to the correct 2025 global fossil fuel reduction targets. And finally,
4. Start the necessary climate change disaster preparation, adaptation, and resilience-building needed for soon-arriving, severe climate change consequences that our nation can no longer avoid or prevent. (About one-half of humanity could die off by 2050-2070 if our politicians fail us once again.)
By electronically signing this petition below, I am officially petitioning and demanding that my national politicians execute the four above actions to protect and preserve humanity and all biological life on Earth.
Furthermore, realizing that the climate change consequences that are already occurring will take centuries to thousands of years to repair (creating an unbearable nightmare for surviving generations), I further pledge to continue to help resolve our intensifying climate change emergency until it is fixed!
