Our mission is to initiate a World War II-scale mobilization that protects civilization and the natural world from climate catastrophe by eliminating net greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that the climate movement\u2019s greatest and most underutilized strategic asset is the truth: that we are now in a planet-wide climate crisis that threatens civilization and requires an immediate, all-out emergency response. We believe that this mobilization can only be achieved through the valuing and active spreading, of climate truth.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theclimatemobilization.org\/margaret\">The Pledge to Mobilize,<\/a>\u00a0a one-page document that any American can sign, is our tool for spreading climate truth and channeling the emotions it inspires into political power.<\/p>\n<p>This paper explores the transformative power\u2014and strategic necessity\u2014of climate truth. It explains why we believe the Pledge to Mobilize approach contains such incredible potential for change. It addresses concerns that The Climate Mobilization is too frank and frightening about the climate crisis, and hence should push for a more appealing and \u201crealistic,\u201d though inadequate, solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Transformative Power of Climate Truth: Updated w Encyclical Material I published \u201cThe Transformative Power of Climate Truth\u201d \u00a03 months ago.
