The University of Massachusetts Amherst Student Government Association (SGA) passed a resolution declaring a “climate emergency” during one of its recent meetings and urged the university administration to do so as well.
According to Amherst Wire, the “climate crisis” (2019-S6) resolution was in response to the UMass climate strike last month, when students participated in a walkout to raise awareness for climate change.
The resolution passed unanimously with no member voting against it.
“Climate change is currently contributing to billions of dollars in poverty and infrastructure damage worldwide, stressing local economies,” stated the resolution, which later said that “the University of Massachusetts student body is a global community in which all students and faculty are impacted by climate change.”
“The Student Government Association declares a climate emergency for the purposes of naming, framing, and deepening our commitment to protect our economy, our ecosystems, and our community from climate change.”
“The Student Government Association urges the University of Massachusetts Amherst to declare a state of climate emergency,” the resolution states.
According to the report, SGA President Timmy Sullivan said that the resolution is “a framework or orientation” for how the SGA hopes campus policies will be shaped in the future regarding climate change.
“I am really hopeful UMass will declare [a climate emergency],” Sullivan said, according to the report.
Eli Zeh, communications director for the UMass Amherst College Republicans, said that the declaration was not a smart idea.
“The SGA’s decision to declare a ‘climate emergency’ was a foolish one, and only further proves the presence of political biases among the Senate and Executive Branch of the organization,” Zeh told Campus Reform.
Noting that the SGA has little power, Zeh said that it “would be better off focusing on issues that directly affect us as students, such as administrative pay and spending costs.”
Zeh also said that the UMass administration will “likely” not declare a climate emergency, as it has already addressed “related energy and climate issues.”

What will governments do to mitigate this coming disaster!?
Extinction Rebellion will disrupt people’s lives until something is done!
And without that hated fossil fuels these idiots would freeze to death in the dark.
Just another group of Useful Idiots doing as their being told by their administaigtors more reasons we need to cut back of on the money to this Universties and Collages make them get a real job in the real world outside their safe space
I’m getting totally fed up of all these lies by scaremongering scammers!
#ClimateCrackpots all of them!
If the climate had never changed we wouldn’t have evolved to where we are today!
It’s a natural process, we can’t change it, fools all of them!
Even if climate change were a real problem, we wouldn’t even be close to an emergency. Making such declarations is pure politics. Liberals seem to think that if they declare something to be true, then that makes it true. The San Francisco City Council unanimously voted that the National Rifle Association is a domestic terrorist organization. Does that vote make the NRA such an organization?
banning DDT was a mistake based upon the Junk Science and lies of Rachael Carson and her junk science book SILENT SPRING there are more natural factors that effect a Birds Eggshell like sudden change in the tempeture or stress that effct their eggshells that has nothing to do with any man made products
“Climate change is currently contributing to billions of dollars in poverty and infrastructure damage worldwide, stressing local economies,”
Climate change is doing none of those things – on the contrary.
