(CN) Hawaii’s state Legislature became the first Thursday to declare climate change an emergency, reflecting growing concern among all levels of government about changing weather patterns as a result of human-driven climate change.
Hawaii state legislators passed Senate Resolution 44 on Thursday, which declares a Climate Emergency in the state and recognizes climate change as an existential threat to humanity and the world.
The legislation was introduced by State Senator Mike Gabbard, a Democrat, and was unanimously approved by the 25-person Hawaii Senate. There is only one Republican in the state senate at present. There are four Republicans in the lower chamber, the 51-seat House of Representatives, and only one of them voted for it.
