Because of an excess of carbon emissions and its consequent greenhouse effects, Earth has lost much of the Arctic ice and it also has a drastic change in climate. A great part of its population is at risk of famine and floods, among other unsurmountable  problems. We request a declaration of emergency to have all nations deal with the crisis accordingly, stop using fossil fuels, and generate reasonable lifestyles for all - respectful of the delicate ecological equilibrium of the biosphere.  This way, tragic catastrophes will be averted.
