<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleague, we are excited that thousands of scientists have already signed the new paper “World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency.” <span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;background: white;"> It is not too late for you to sign and have your name published with the article. This will help achieve the goal of 10,000 scientist signatories, and get this unified message on climate change to world leaders. Please take a few minutes to sign and forward to your network of scientists soon. See website link </span><span style="color: windowtext;"><a href="http://scientistswarning.forestry.oregonstate.edu/" target="_blank">http://scientistswarning.forestry.oregonstate.edu/</a></span><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;background: white;">.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt;background: white;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">We scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any great existential threat. In this paper, we present a suite of graphical vital signs of climate change over the last 40 years. Results show greenhouse gas emissions are still rising, with increasingly damaging effects. With few exceptions, we are largely failing to address this predicament. The climate crisis has arrived and is accelerating faster than many scientists expected. It is more severe than anticipated, threatening natural ecosystems and the fate of humanity. We suggest six critical and interrelated steps that governments and the rest of humanity can take to lessen the worst effects of climate change, covering 1) Energy, 2) Short-lived pollutants, 3) Nature, 4) Food, 5) Economy, and 6) Population. Mitigating and adapting to climate change entails transformations in the ways we govern, manage, feed, and fulfill material and energy requirements. We are encouraged by a recent global surge of concern. Governmental bodies are making climate emergency declarations. The Pope issued an encyclical on climate change. Schoolchildren are striking. Ecocide lawsuits are proceeding in the courts. Grassroots citizen movements are demanding change. As scientists, we urge widespread use of our vital signs and anticipate that graphical indicators will better allow policymakers and the public to understand the magnitude of this crisis, track progress, and realign priorities to alleviate climate change. The good news is that such transformative change, with social and ecological justice, promises greater human wellbeing in the long-run than business as usual. We believe that prospects will be greatest if policy makers and the rest of humanity promptly respond to our warning and declaration of a climate emergency, and act to sustain life on planet Earth, our only home.</span></p>
