What is happening to our climate is literally insane. People in positions of authority—in business and politics—are destroying the stability of the Earth’s climate and dooming all of our children. They are playing a petty deadly game of greed and power.

We cannot let this continue. There are literally more than a billion people who love their children and are desperate to protect them. They understand the need to preserve the climate. However, these people think they are alone, that everyone else is asleep, and that they are powerless to do anything. They are mistaken, but because this billion plus group is invisible and mostly silent, they (WE) are stuck.

This needs to end. A Climate Declaration calls for people everywhere to speak out and assert their power and to dis-empower failed leaders—those who are protecting climate abusers. We must disobey them and demand they leave.

A Climate Declaration calls for responsible caring adults and young people to take control and repair our planet before foolish adults finish destroying it.

Would De-Industrialization Really Require Significant Sacrifice?

There’s a view that fighting climate collapse would be terribly difficult, and require great sacrifices and suffering. For this reason, most people would rather continue on our present course. Change would involve severe risk and unpleasantness.

Moral Progress

We’ve made giant strides in technology and science. Not so much in ethics. Ideologies have a way of justifying the most cruel and evil practices of any era. Ours is no exception.

A Climate Declaration

REVISED OCTOBER 2022

We, the sane people of Earth, who love our children and the planet, withdraw our consent from leaders and institutions worldwide that have failed to stop climate destruction.

Warned by scientists decades ago to sharply reduce carbon emissions, decision makers have instead increased the use of fossil fuels. Today, we are witnessing unprecedented ever-worsening wildfires, heatwaves, droughts and hurricanes. Political and business leaders everywhere have failed catastrophically and must be removed immediately. Their time is over. Earth is at code red.

We are declaring a worldwide climate emergency to facilitate quick and effective action. The rules and norms that endanger us are null and void.

Our house is on fire.

We intend to replace current government, business and institutional leaders with people who care. This new leadership will include prominent roles for young people—because the young will inherit this damaged planet. Assisted by scientists and engineers, the new leaders—young and old—will work tirelessly to repair the damage.

We will hold these new leaders accountable to meet their minimum obligation: to restore and protect the habitability of the Earth. No person, no group, and even no majority has the right to impede this effort—any more than a majority has a right to murder a minority.

Can we remove failed leaders, reform failed institutions and heal the Earth? Absolutely yes. People with no formal authority have overthrown dictators, and forced important reforms. Our technology continues to amaze, including the rapid advancement of clean energy technology.

We know many will laugh and dismiss us. But we are powered by an unstoppable force—love for our children and our planet. A few thousand foolish people in positions of authority cannot possibly defeat the billions of us determined to fix the Earth.

Scientists and engineers provide knowledge and expertise. Caring adults and young people, aware that the survival and well-being of our species is at stake, provide direction. People of good will everywhere—including you—can contribute to our success.

Control the discussion to focus on climate action.
Speak truth to power—calmly and honestly.

Plan and act using your best judgement.

Let’s end the nightmare. We can do this.

Q

A Climate Declaration

ORIGINAL VERSION - SINCE REVISED

We, the sane people of Earth, who love our children and the planet, withdraw our consent from leaders and institutions worldwide that have failed to stop climate destruction.

Warned by scientists decades ago to sharply reduce carbon emissions, decision makers have instead increased the use of fossil fuels. Today, we are witnessing unprecedented ever-worsening wildfires, heatwaves and storms. Political and business leaders continue to fiddle while the planet burns. Whether this fiasco is caused by incompetence, foolishness, greed or ideology does not matter. These leaders have failed catastrophically and need to step down.

We are declaring a worldwide climate emergency to facilitate quick and effective action. The rules and norms that endanger the Earth are null and void.

Our house is on fire.

We intend to replace current government, business and institutional leaders with young people who care. These new leaders, assisted by scientists and engineers, will work tirelessly to end climate abuse and restore our planet to health.

Some will question the wisdom of putting young people in charge who, they believe, are not ready to take on such an important task. This concern is baseless. Young people everywhere exhibit competence, maturity, talent and wisdom as leaders of the climate movement. They can select leaders from their own ranks, and change them regularly.

Can we do this? Can we remove failed leaders, reform failed institutions and heal the Earth? Absolutely yes. People have overthrown dictators, eradicated diseases and sent probes beyond Pluto. The genius of our species is astounding.

We know many will laugh and dismiss us. But we are powered by an unstoppable force—love for our children and our planet. A few thousand foolish people in positions of authority cannot possibly defeat the billions of us determined to fix the Earth.

Scientists and engineers provide technical expertise. Young people, aware that they are in charge of repairing the planet their generation will inherit, provide direction. People of good will everywhere—including you—can contribute to ensure success.
