Worldwide, an estimated over 300,000 individuals have signed this petition and similar petitions co-sponsored by other allied climate change and environmental nonprofit organizations!  

We, the citizens of our nation and of the Earth, are endowed with certain universal rights, powers, and responsibilities, which demand we act to preserve and protect the future of humanity alive today, the cycle of life for future generations, and Earth's other biological life. 

Based on abundant scientific evidence and our own climate change experiences, we recognize that:

a. In 2025, global warming is accelerating faster than ever before. 

b. Despite 60 years of credible scientific warnings, the consequences of climate change have reached catastrophic and disastrous levels, causing widespread disruption and destabilization of our climate and environment.

c. The global climate has become increasingly unstable. This is due to the acceleration of atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide), which is predominantly caused by the burning of human-caused fossil fuels.

d. Climate change is an urgent global emergency that demands immediate action by governments and policymakers.

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 2025-26 global fossil fuel reduction targets. Achieving the 2025 global targets will reduce the harmful effects of atmospheric carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide to required levels, helping 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 achieve the 2025-26 global fossil fuel reduction targets, the frequency, severity, and size of global climate change consequences will rise dramatically from 2025 to 2031 and beyond, far exceeding what Humanity can 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 from all nations enact these four actions:

1. Declare a national, international, and planetary Climate Change Emergency. (We will never be able to manage worsening climate change unless we mobilize and call the climate change emergency that it is, a life and death emergency for most of humanity.)

2. Immediately enact and enforce verifiable national and international laws that will help us meet the required 2025-26 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 achieve the correct 2025-26 global fossil fuel reduction targets. And finally,

4. Initiate the necessary measures to prepare for, adapt to, build resilience against, manage migration, and implement managed retreat strategies in response to the impending, severe consequences of climate change that our nation can no longer avoid or prevent. (About one-half of humanity or more could die off by 2050-2070 if our politicians fail us once again.)

By electronically signing the climate change emergency petition below, I am officially petitioning and demanding that my national politicians take the four actions outlined above to protect and preserve humanity and all biological life on Earth. 

Furthermore, realizing that the consequences of climate change that are already occurring will take centuries to thousands of years to repair (creating an unbearable nightmare for future generations), I further pledge to continue helping resolve our intensifying climate change emergency until it is resolved.
