Flashback 2004: Al Gore first tries to popularize 'Climate Emergency': Al Gore: "The phrase 'climate emergency' is intended to convey what it conveys – that this is a crisis with an unusual sense of urgency attached to it, and we should see it as an emergency...So when I use the phrase climate emergency, I have partly in mind the fact that this is happening right now. And it carries with it, unless we do something, catastrophic consequences for all civilization."
Flashback 2005: Barbra Streisand also helped pioneer the inane phrase 'Climate Emergency': Streisand in 2005: "Al Gore passionately stressed that our world no longer has a climate problem, we are in a climate emergency."

The resolution, also co-sponsored by Oregon Rep. Earl Blumenauer, will call for a wide-scale mobilization to combat the emergency and restore the climate “for future generations.”

Climate Emergency Letter: As institutions and networks of higher and further education from across the world, we collectively declare a Climate Emergency in recognition of the need for a drastic societal shift to combat the growing threat of climate change. The young minds that are shaped by our institutions must be equipped with the knowledge, skills and capability to respond to the ever-growing challenges of climate change. We all need to work together to nurture a habitable planet for future generations and to play our part in building a greener and cleaner future for all.
