"We declare clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency. To secure a sustainable future, we must change how we live. [This] entails major transformations in the ways our global society functions and interacts with natural ecosystems." " World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency " Ripple et al 2019
Introduction
With the passage of NASA findings, the earth’s axis tilted that certain temperature will arise anew see figure 1 and 2

Scientific consensus on the threat of climate change is well established, reaching back 40 years to the First World Climate Conference, held in Geneva in 1979. Over the ensuing decades, attendees of similar assemblies have cited the growing threat of a changing climate and admonished governments and other policymaking bodies to take action. (American Institute of Biological Sciences 2019) and to focus on world leaders as well as concerned citizens call for transformative action to the planet, we only own no other planet for humanity to exist. The worldwide view on the climate emergency often pertains to the reality of global temperature raising as well as its effect but the human activities related to the aggravating circumstances leading to this climate emergency to all form of life whether living or nonliving things in this planet, we share with them. Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and to “tell it like it is.� (Ripple et al 2019) It is a morally upright in doing this urgent task to do something and significantly affecting the lives as well as coexistence of other species in this planet. Scientist tried with the assistance from government and private companies in mitigating climate change through geoengineering and thus UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTIST released their position paper on this said matter see Figures 3 and 4

Furthermore, my call to action can much in full colors as I participated this advocacy for climate emergency response as a concerned citizen doing my share in my own respect and realizing this small act to remind ourselves for a greater purpose for others to enliven this planet as the universe.
Mitigating circumstances always allay the mind of climate activism in its psyche as well as the certain victims for climatic changes see figures from APA in addressing the climate change phenomenon

A CLIMATE EMERGENCY “.... Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and to “tell it like it is.” " World Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency " Ripple et al 2019
Carillon call for humanity to take heed o humanity A planet we own turns around with its own fluctuations World scientists urgently asking the humankind to notice Making notes here and there in realizable measurements Cascading reality at hand happening to accomplish sooner Making marks on every call happening at rapid rates Taking notice here or there or simply ignoring the tale signs Manifesting in every situation’s climate changes Humanity taking action answering the carillon call Taking action in small acts toward a greater goal Happening in the edge of its own planet destruction Just like whistling kettle on hot water makes acts Accomplishing a gigantic task at hand seen by everyone Manifesting in the entire created realm realized Visible signs must take concrete action on this planet Taking part in one of own little ways active participation

A CHALLENGE TO A CLIMATE EMERGENCY Immerse pressure from all sources Seeing rapid changes happening Continuing the light of matters behaving Changing the tides of existence Happening in the flux of materials at hand Substance transforming and always evolving Into raw energies developing from its own existence Moving the terrain of evolving planet transpires Materializing in the form mechanics seems absurd Contingent movement of human kind emerging From the olden times till post modernity incessant change Every being renovating and sprouting for greater core synthesis Matching the domain of existence and constancy arriving in its ascent Movement of humanity forever met challenges to its upheaval Revitalizing and changing the course for commendable roundelay Arriving in its resolution for appropriate activities in making difference Humankind must able to do as much as even as little Changing and evolving in its innovative psyche and existence remains Bridging the self into the other selves coexisting profoundly Moving in its interval revitalizing the coexistence universally The epitaph of humanity ascent seen to be profound and deadly at times Yet always in its challenging times mankind prevailed and overcame Determination and resilience seen in its own history written in historical times Understanding the undertaking of manifold yielding the need of times congruently

ADVOCACY GLOBAL CAMPAIGN With rapid response on disaster humanity always prompt Though the lingering manifestation of earth’s tremors dawdles Life often undermine the psyche of advocates to expose human activities It is much immensely affected on the behalf of an earth-shaking vital signs
The global landscape seemingly an extension What is the real event seen on constant flux Remaining the life in its constancy Fluidity of the onset seen demonstrating
The clash seen much on the development In the relation of the industrial ages The usage goes beyond the mere consumption principles It is the lifestyle of the Aegean age residents of this planet
The work does not end in this behalf Noteworthy times seen in the seemingly aggressiveness But it is the latent response of a climatic changes A response to all by all for all
10
SCIENTIST’S RESPONSIBILITY Ethic or moral responsibility on something Ethical in the designation of human acts Towards any person or any entity It is a perusal for nature’s responsibility
Withstanding all circumstances further sayeth It is deeply embedded in halls of accountability Much matters goes on and on in its cyclic response Center for its undertaking much seen by all humanity
The scientist method of inquiry goes beyond the consequences It is much exploration and discovery with a path of sharing its research results The responsibility always lies what is already happening to the environment per se Much clear carillon call for humanity in responding the phenomenon of changes climatically

HUMAN ACTIVITIES All human endeavors lead to another behalf Seeing the possibility in every notion Arising from all its endearing moments Leading to the long-lasting legacy left to its history
