Global Climate Change Planetary Emergency



​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Climate Emergency Institute

Climate change is set to inflict “severe, widespread, and irreversible impacts”

on people and the natural world unless carbon emissions

are cut sharply and rapidly.

15 May 2018 UN Sec. General says climate change is an 'existential threat' to most life on the planet, including and especially humankind, UN chief warns global summit, and the age of fossil fuels must be ended.VIDEO of the historic statement by UN Secretary-General António Guterres

3 Aug 2020 Physicists: 90% Chance of Human Society Collapsing Within Decades

With the 2007 IPCC  4th Assessent, there has been  universal agreement that emissions must decline by 2020, to avoid total planetary catastrophe. This is the bottom line for our survival 

Welcome to the Climate Emergency Institute.

I'm Peter Carter, founder and director of CEI. That we're in a dire climate emergency is now widely acknowledged.

The purpose of this site is threefold:

  1. to show the increasing science evidence of the climate emergency
  2. to portray the human dimensions of the climate emergency
  3. to outline the urgently needed emergency measures and responses

Dr. Peter Carter, atInternational climate change conference in Washington, DC

This site has the comprehensive proof of the now dire planetary emergency and that the world economy has the world on a fast track for biosphere collapse.

PLANETARY EMERGENCY IS DIRE BUT IGNORED


>The destructive world consumer economy has brought about the 6th mass extinction of species, increased by climate change

>World governments and corporation plan to keep emitting record quantities of greenhouse gases which leads to climatic decimation Humanity and most of life on Earth to 

> The global climate emergency is widely acknowledged.

> CLIMATE CHANGE IS ACCELERATING 

> Climate change indicators are at record highs and accelerating higher,

    many tracking the very worst-case scenario.

> Climate change impacts are happening decades sooner than projected

> Several planet catastrophic amplifying feedbacks have been triggered

> Emissions decline by 2020 (very latest) was by the 2007 IPCC AR4 

> But the only plans are for continued  increased emissions which are at     record high

Can anybody still deny that we are facing a dramatic emergency?


That is why today, we call on all leaders worldwide to declare a State of Climate Emergency in their countries
