Zero Carbon or Climate Catastrophe?
Our Mission and Overview

Change Our World To Save Their Earth

Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. Effects of climate change on health will affect most populations in the next decades and put the lives and wellbeing of billions of people at increased risk.

There is a rapidly growing movement world wide for facing the fact of the global climate catastrophe and for mounting the great global emergency venture of all humanity all together. That is the only credible, and realistic, response.

In particular, the powerful global media have finally got behind the truth and are becoming a great source of hope in action. For months now, instead of casting doubt on the dangers, the media are reporting the planetary climate catastrophe that we are facing.

Our mission is part of that movement. It might just be in the nick time. Hope must be a reason for acting, not a substitute for action. We must remember we are the last hope for all humanity.

This just released project launched by the advertising industry says it well...

Welcome to Hopenhagen. On December 7, 2009, leaders from 192 countries will gather at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark to determine the fate of our planet. Let's turn Copenhagen into Hopenhagen. Hopenhagen is a movement, a moment and a chance at a new beginning. The hope that we can create a global community that will lead our leaders into making the right decisions. The hope that by solving our environmental crisis, we can solve our economic crisis at the same time. Hopenhagen is change—and that change will be powered by all of us.

The mission for all of us is change, but real change—a great transformation. We have to start the transformation of our economic, environmental, social and political systems. We will do that if we know and face the truth.

Our mission is nothing less than ensuring that Earth—our Earth—is a habitable planet for all future generations.

The focus is the December 2009 UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen. This is the most important international conference ever. But there is very little awareness about it.

A Mission for Us All

What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment.

Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, November 2007

Our mission is to do our very best to save the very best of planet Earth, like the world's coral reefs and tropical forests. Time has run out.

Our mission is to ensure that global climate change does not render vast regions of today's agricultural land useless for future generations to grow their food.

Our mission is to give the huge populations of the nations most vulnerable to climate change the right of survival, and to remind all leaders of our society that their UN charter human rights are being terribly abused.

Our mission is to encourage all of us to face up to the full truth that is today's catastrophically dangerous global climate predicament, and to inform them about what we must make happen to head off planetary catastrophe.

Our mission is to get everyone involved in the December UN Copenhagen Climate Conference. This is the most important international conference ever and by far. But there is very little awareness about it.

But as top UK climate science adviser Sir David King has said, a weak Copenhagen Climate Conference agreement would be worse than no agreement.

Unless the full truth is tabled for the Copenhagen conference, the only agreement to come out of it would be hopelessly weak.

In particular then, our mission is to remind the leaders of the scientific community and civil society that it is their human responsibility to acknowledge and make nations face up to the full truth of todays climate change science.

The truth of the matter is this....

• The world is far beyond dangerous climate interference and is facing global climate catastrophe.
• Only the rapid virtual elimination of fossil fuel carbon emissions can possibly stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide at a level that could prevent planetary catastrophe stop warming.
• Only a united world wide planetary emergency response agreed to at the December 2009 UN Copenhagen Climate Conference can hope to save the planet for our children.

The Humanitarian Truth

Our mission is on behalf of the billions of people who are the most climate change vulnerable and on behalf of all future generations of humanity and all species- all who have little to no voice at the crucial December 2009 Copenhagen Climate Conference.

The science shows they all face a real and rapidly increasing risk of catastrophically dangerous climate change.

A Mission for Scientists and NGOs

To prevent global climate catastrophe, climate change scientists and environmentalists have to speak out much more strongly, telling the full truth of the catastrophic global climate change dangers we are now all facing.

They are called on by all future generations to act far more boldly for the survival of humanity and life on Earth from the real and present danger of planetary catastrophe.

To prevent planetary catastrophe, scientific and environmental organizations have to compel the UN Copenhagen Climate Conference negotiations to formally acknowledge the full scientific truth of the situation today, by tabling the latest published climate change research, which shows that the present state of the global climate is catastrophically dangerous and that only zero carbon emissions can possibly prevent planetary catastrophe.

They cannot permit the scientific basis of the negotiations to remain restricted to the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment, which reviewed and assessed the published science up to only January 2006.

They have to insist that the science showing that only zero carbon emissions can stop global warming must be formally tabled.
