WHEREAS the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, once stated that “the era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences,” and
WHEREAS this quote well-encapsulates humanity’s current predicament in relation to anthropogenic climate change, and
WHEREAS in 2022 alone, 25 nations have experienced their hottest summers ever and the past seven years each have been the hottest years in succession, and
WHEREAS leading contributors of atmospheric warming emissions (People’s Republic of China, United States of America, and Republic of India) have lagged in fidelity to their commitments based on the Kyoto and Paris Accords.
THEREFORE may it be resolved that it is the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa:
- To declare a climate emergency, and Based on this declaration state its assessment that anthropogenic climate change is an issue touching not just on scientific and political scopes but also on moral and bioethical scopes, and
- To encourage Talossans around the world to make meaningful changes in their personal lives to limit their individual and family contributions to climate change, and
- To encourage nations which are leading contributors to climate change to meet their previously-agreed treaty-based commitments.
