Declaring a Climate Emergency

"Today we have seen something incredible, the UK parliament has passed Labour’s motion and become the first in the world to declare an environment and climate emergency."
On Wednesday 1st May, Jeremy Corbyn called on MPs to declare a climate emergency. 
Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Opposition declared an environment and climate emergency, said:
Today this House must declare an environment and climate emergency.
We have no time to waste.
We are living in a climate crisis that will spiral dangerously out of control unless we take rapid and dramatic action now.
This is no longer about the distant future.
We are talking about nothing less than the irreversible destruction of the environment within our lifetimes.
