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!

    Arguing against global warming is ridiculous. At first it could have been seen as some hippy crap, but when the controversy gets to this magnitude its time to wake up. There is no argument anymore, there is only fact. Even if there was an argument there is so much negativity around the burning of fossil fuels, illegal logging, deforestation, etc, that the change should be taken seriously anyway! No way this many people would be promoting change just for the hell of it!

    It’s sad how we treat our earth and the species living on this Earth including our own. We need to do something before it’s too late. Reclaim our voices to stop this destruction.

    I do not know how I can be active in helping to stop the global warming of our planet. I worry for my children and eventually will have grandchildren what kind of world will they inherit. I currently reside in California which has water rationing and want to return to Oregon or Washington eventually where I can grow my own food and have a orchard without worrying about the drought. What can we do as individuals to prevent the upcoming disasters of global warming.

    Looking to help need advice.

    Humans cannot live under such conditions, over time we our future generations will suffer due to our actions. But it can be solved if we all put in the effort to make our world a cleaner place for everyone.

    There is a story about president Roosevelt in 1942 at the entry of the US into WW2, it goes something like this,

    President Roosevelt invited the leaders of industry to the white house to inform them about the upcoming war and their role in supplying tools for the huge job at hand, there was an urgent need for guns tanks boats and aircraft, he said to the aircraft manufactures that they needed 30,000 war planes within the next 12 months, they said it was impossible, he handed them a blank cheque and told them not to waste a minute, end result? they built 120,000 war planes within the following 12 months,

    today we have 100 times the capacity they had in 1942,

    what we do not have is agreement, cooperation,

    we have a great deal of work to do, China is probably the leader at this time, but we need cooperation from the whole world,

    China Europe Japan India California and others are doing well but we need to do much more,

    Canada and the rest of the US are asleep,

    we need a huge concerted effort, I am convinced we can do it, but without that effort I fear the worst.
