Petition Number EN1041 Petition Address To the Hon. Speaker of the House of Representatives and Members of the House of Representatives Petition Of Concerned citizens of Australia Petition Reason The overwhelming majority of climate scientists around the world have concluded that the climate is changing at unprecedented rates due to anthropogenic causes. The result of these changes will be catastrophic for future generations, and so we must act now to minimise both human and environmental destruction. Petition Request We therefore ask the House to immediately act and declare a climate emergency in Australia. And introduce legislation that will with immediacy and haste reduce the causes of anthropogenic climate change. The terms and conditions are not immediately obvious. This is the relevant part: Signing a petition You must be a resident or citizen of Australia to submit a petition. Members of parliament cannot submit a petition. When you sign a petition, we ask for your name and a verifiable email address. We will not publish your information online, but your name will be included in the final petition presented to the House of Representatives.
