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!

    This has to happen before life itself no longer exists which the one thing we are most afraid of as a world is death we never want it to happen but if we continue on living the way we are now then death is what will happen

    I am from a small town in Central Illinois. The state of climate change is at its breaking point and the world needs to stop being in denial and take the necessary actions our earth needs for the sake of wildlife and the future of mankind.

    The arctic ice melt leading to a blue ocean event and permafrost thaw very likely will create major chaos with our with patterns. More serious attention and planning is need to prepare and address the situation.

    Please let me know what I can do. At least I can say I have solar on my house and have a full electric car. But I agree this is a dire emergency.

    Climate Change is only one edge of the sword human kind is using to murder this earth. Habitat destruction/resource depletion/species extinction is the other edge of the sword. Human kind has got to back off the “more, more, more concept” and use “less, less, less” along with population reduction and a shift to a more natural and sustainable lifestyle for all!!! Another comment- just because other people and nations won’t or don’t do the right things, doesn’t minimize or eliminate your responsibility to do be righteous in your life and do the best you possibly can!!! At the end of the day we are all accountable for our actions as individuals, communities, and nations, to each other and to this precious mother earth that gives us all life!!!
