It's not Climate Change, it's a Climate EMERGENCY!!

We're dooooommed

Hahaha haha
Social justice is climate justice!!!

Here's the best part:

Energy. Swiftly phasing out fossil fuels is a top priority. This can be achieved through a multipronged strategy based on rapidly transitioning to low-carbon renewables such as solar and wind power, implementing massive conservation practices, and imposing carbon fees high enough to curtail the use of fossil fuels.
Short-lived pollutants. Quickly cutting emissions of methane, black carbon (soot), hydrofluorocarbons and other short-lived climate pollutants is vital. It can dramatically reduce the short-term rate of warming, which may otherwise be difficult to affect. Specific actions to address short-lived pollutants include reducing methane emissions from landfills and the energy sector (methane), promoting improved clean cookstoves (soot) and developing better refrigerant options and management (hydrofluorocarbons).
Nature. We must restore and protect natural ecosystems such as forests, mangroves, wetlands and grasslands, allowing these ecosystems to reach their ecological potential for sequestering carbon dioxide. The logging of the Amazon, tropical forests in Southeast Asia, and other rainforests including the proposed cutting in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska is especially devastating to the climate. Creation of new protected areas, including strategic forest carbon reserves, should be a top priority. Payment for ecosystem services programs offer an equitable way for wealthier nations to help protect natural ecosystems.
Food. A dietary shift toward eating more plant-based foods and consuming fewer animal products, especially beef, would significantly reduce emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases. It would also free up agricultural lands for growing human food and, potentially, reforestation (“Nature” step). Relevant policy actions include minimizing tillage to maximize soil carbon, cutting livestock subsidies and supporting research and development of environmentally friendly meat substitutes. Reducing food waste is also critical, given that at least one third of all food produced is wasted.
Economy. We must transition to a carbon-free economy that reflects our dependence on the biosphere. Exploitation of ecosystems for profit absolutely must be halted for long-term sustainability. While this is a broad, holistic step involving ecological economics, there are specific actions that support this transition. Examples include cutting subsidies to and divesting from the fossil fuel industry.
Population. The global human population, growing by more than 200,000 people per day, must be stabilized and gradually reduced using approaches that ensure social and economic justice such as supporting education for all girls and women, and increasing the availability of voluntary family planning services.
These steps synergize with each other and together ensure a sustainable future. They also have many co-benefits beyond climate mitigation. For example, stabilizing human population size can improve climate adaptation capacity in the event of declining crop yields. Similarly, plant-rich diets offer significant benefits for human health.
In December 2020, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pleaded for every nation to declare a “climate emergency.” Thus, we call for the U.S. government to proclaim a climate emergency with either Joe Biden declaring a national climate emergency through an executive order or Congress passing major climate mitigation funding and a declaration of a climate emergency (H.Con.Res.52, S.Con.Res.22) that has been buried in a Congressional committee throughout 2020. One year ago, we were troubled about poor progress on mitigating climate change. We are now alarmed by the failure of sufficient progress during 2020.
However, there are glimmers of hope. Young people in more than 3,500 locations continued global climate strikes calling for urgent action. The Black Lives Matter movement has brought deep social injustice and inequality to the surface of our social and economic systems. Rapid progress in each of the six steps can be achieved when they are framed from the start in the context of climate justice, as climate change is a deeply moral issue. But this is only possible when those who face the greatest climate risks help shape the response, including Indigenous peoples, women, youth, people of color and low-income people. Aggressive transformative change, if framed holistically and equitably, will accelerate broad-based restorative action and avert the worst of the climate emergency. The survival of our society as we know it depends upon this unprecedented change.
Hahaha haha

The population of white folks is fairly stable - relatively. So, they're talking about black, brown and yellow genocide right?
And if they're couching that in this language, what else are they couching?
Meet the new boss...

Somehow population control is tied to women's rights, lmao

When you use something as vague as “climate change” as the justification, the means and methods you can use to pursue those goals are almost infinite.

What they need to achieve all of that is a pandemic to wipe a significant portion of the world's population.

Climate, by definition, is basically weather over a long period of time.
How is that an emergency, lol?
Wasn't NYC supposed to be 6' underwater by 2012?

Sure. We can curtail almost every activity we don’t like people doing if we makes it too financially punitive to continue.

So no more oil and gas? Good luck heating your homes in the winter, traveling or transporting goods anywhere, or manufacturing anything

millions of illegals pouring into the country, sex trafficking, drug cartels, gangs, etc... = "challenge"
1 degree warmer in 50 years = EMERGENCY!!!!! REEEEEEEEE!!!!

Just waiting for the new tickets and fines for "Failing to save the planet" to start rolling out.

You won't be laughing when they use the emergency powers they did with COVID to make radical changes to our economy. It's coming. We tried to warn you.

Didn't read, but according to their past scare tactics BS, we should be dead already.

Someone who gets it.
Existential threat.... look up that word....

This is one of the examples in this of intentional planned obsolescence. They are just going to change refrigerants in AC's, at the suggestion of coorporate lobbyists, to something else that is no different so you will have to completely replace an otherwise good system.
This is just coorporations suckling from the teet of the American Taxpayer.

It's just two weeks without electricity to cool the planet!

They really want you eating bugs. Soylent green will be next.
