The definition of an emergency is a dangerous event requiring immediate action to reduce risk of potentially catastrophic results. The impacts of climate change and ecological destruction are more severe and are manifesting themselves earlier than many scientific predictions in previous decades had foreseen...the definition of an emergency is a dangerous event requiring immediate action to reduce risk of potentially catastrophic results.
