"WE HAVE REACHED A POINT OF PLANETARY EMERGENCY...
...Elements of a perfect storm, a global cataclysm, are assembled... the oft-stated goal to keep global warming less than +2 ºC (+3.6 ºFahrenheit) is a recipe for global disaster, not salvation."
~ NASA's Dr. James Hansen, global warming testimony to Congress, June 23, 2008
READ OUR "CALL FOR DECLARATION of GLOBAL CLIMATE EMERGENCY" (PDF, 7 pages)
On Nov. 7, 2008, ecoSanity.org initiated a Climate Emergency Campaign (CEC) -- an ambitious, necessary and urgent
effort to re-frame mainstream misinformation about 'global warming' -- more accurately, global heating, global climate destabilization, global weather extreming, global mass extinction, global ecocide.
With the inadequate, offensive and, above all, dangerous underachievement of the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland, ecoSanity.org has called for all environmental and social justice organizations worldwide to:
Officially declare the climate crisis to be a planetary emergency based on what the most eminent experts now warn is the clear, present, unprecedented and accelerating threat of runaway global heating and risk of catastrophic global climate destabilization. We are long past the point of dangerous interference with the climate system, and we -- our species and most others -- cannot survive the extremes that are predicted to ensue within the lifetimes of today's children if we delay emergency action any longer.

...and check out the detailed Campaign updates on blogSanity.
This initiative was addressed to all participants of the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland. It included: U.N. Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, UNFCCC Executive Secretary, Yvo de Boer, National Focal Points (government delegates) from most of the 186 participating countries, and more than 400 environmental, social justice and other organizations, research institutions, participating business and industry representatives.
Wonder if some of the folks in this must-watch video read our email-out. Please support, embrace, take on, and forward widely, our urgent call for the unified declaration of global climate emergency!
