11,000 scientists declare climate emergency, warn of 'untold suffering'

In a recently published paper, over 11,000 scientists declared "clearly and unequivocally" that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency. The scientists also warned that people face "untold suffering" unless there are major transformations to global society. "Despite 40 years of global climate negotiations, with few exceptions, we've largely failed to address this predicament," scientists said.
