Proposal for a Safe Climate Coalition
November 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Strategy
Humanity and all of life is facing a planetary emergency: the threat of runaway global warming. We call on communities and governments in every part of the world to take immediate action to reduce average global temperatures to safe levels in order to prevent the catastrophic collapse of ecosystems and human societies. It is time we made an emergency commitment to the reestablishment of a safe climate.
