Citizens of Earth, unite! / Call for a new system of government

Nothing has worked. It’s time for political revolution. 

Dear fellow citizens of Earth.

We invite you to do something which governments and supporters of the status quo traditionally fear and hate. We invite you to join a political revolution. With other paths closed and all other options exhausted, we see this as the only way to catapult humankind onto effecting change on the grand scale our planet requires. 

We all know what led us to where we are. For the last four decades, governments have failed to halt the almost constant rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As a result, the last six years have been the hottest on record. 

In 2019 the UN Environment Programme came to the discouraging conclusion that the last ten years have been “a lost decade”. We have done far, far too little – and as a consequence, the world is heading for 3.5°C of global warming by the end of the century. This is far beyond the limits of the Paris Agreement. If the signatory nations were to meet the stated goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C, they would need on average to quintuple the climate pledges they made in Paris.
