People are changing Earth's climate and these changes pose serious danger to humanity and all of life. The changes in climate that people are causing are larger and faster than any humanity is known to have endured. Addressing climate change must be a top priority, if humanity and all life is to thrive. Therefore, the undersigned scientific societies and media organizations commit to working together to inform all audiences about the challenges and opportunities facing humanity at this point in the 21st century by signing a joint pledge to work together on all fronts from a science-based position to mitigate today's prevalent dis/mis-information about climate change.
