Dear Ocean Activist Scientists have been warning of the impacts of human induced climate change for decades. The scale, frequency and speed of extreme weather events currently unfolding around the world can be directly linked to the decades of inaction and corporate complicity. Changes now being witnessed in the global climate system are unprecedented – it has been thousands of years since the Earth has seen such instability across every region of the world. The increasing fragility of the ocean now threatens human resilience, compromising our food security, driving extreme weather events and removing the protection that intact coastal ecosystems provide for communities worldwide. The natural blue equilibrium we depend on is being lost. But, we have so much still to fight for, so much to protect, the future is still ours to create. We must now rise to the challenge to restore our home for all life. Our lives depend on it. With your voice, our message will go even further and the government will be more likely to take action. The #OceanEmergency petition closes tomorrow so this is the last chance to add your name to help protect and restore the ocean in the face of the climate crisis. Will you join me, and over 60,000 people, in calling on the government to address the ocean and climate emergency? Thank you for your support. Hugo Tagholm, CEO Surfers Against Sewage |
