If there is any chance that this would result in more concerted action and policy (e.g. carbon neutral by 2030) this can only be a good thing! We are still doing much too little, too late.

A war on CO2 is like a war on ants. Utterly pointless.

Id be a lot moire inclined to support this if people could make up their mind about some basic facts: There is no one definition of what a ‘climate emergency’ means (sic) So we don't know what is we're going to declare about. Just to put things into perspective here are two learned statements about the future. a. According to Peter Gunter, a North Texas State University professor, , “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” and b. In January 1970, Life reported, “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” More recently Al Gore's 'An inconvenient truth' was refused permission to be shown to British schools unless eleven false statements were removed, the final one: "The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim." 50 years ago people paraded in sandwich boards proclaiming 'the end is nigh' without supporting evidence. These days we do much the same with social media
