Declare a Global Warming State of Emergency


Declare a Global Warming State of Emergency
The Issue
Our world is getting hotter, faster—we are now in dangerous territory. Global heat records are being repeatedly shattered, month after month, and year after year. In February 2016, global heat spiked to well over 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures—just weeks after the world agreed, at the Paris Climate Conference, to stay within that benchmark. 2014 was the hottest year on record, then surpassed by 2015. Now 2016 is on track to be even hotter. Contribute your voice that will help us push Emergency Climate Mobilization so that we have zero emissions in the U.S. within a decade.
Now we must come together as a people with a common cause, moving quickly to phase out greenhouse gases from fossil fuels. Mobilization of America’s people, resources, and economy to slash fossil fuel use is necessary for any hope of continuing civilization. We have come together before, in our “every-hand-on-deck” effort for World War Two, and we can do it again.
The public and our political leaders must understand that the global warming emergency means action now. Only with a clear “red-alarm” signal will we be able to respond effectively. We need a Declaration of Global Warming State of Emergency so that the people of the United States can demand immediate action. This is how we will meet the most critical moral issue of our time. Help protect your future and your children’s future, join the movement by signing our petition today!
Act now!
